Whitney Museum
review for the Whitney Biennial and artist
My thought of the Whitney Biennial was that I feel strong tendency or manipulation toward theme and artists choice. It was seems that Biennial choose optical art and art about human body. I did not find "something new" and I felt deja vu.
I was interested in New Media artist Edger Clejin. He was construct big cubic dark room and project multiple image with multiple projector. At the center of the cube there was a semi- transparent glass showing a rotating image of the face of John F Kennedy. And multiple projectors are casing images on the walls occasionally. So audience were surrounded by image.
The projectors were casting a image which has a reddish color. Therefor, I associated assassination of JFK.
But I thought that his work had a structural problem. The cube had four boor at each corner. therefor the projectors did not cover the entire walls and projected images were looked like separate piece.
The idea of casting image on the glass was same as my artwork that I made for my Welding Class. Semi -transparent glass showed image better than transparent glass but it was not interesting appearance.
The things that I learn was that the heat that was emitted by the projectors that were located under the box chairs. They were warm even though the box had certain size. I think that if I make artworks that projector is embedded I have to really care for the air flow.
Over all, Whitney biennial was not so much impressive exhibition.
