2000 Biennial Exhibition

Whitney Museum of American Art, New York

The Biennial is the Whitney's signature exhibition, known as the place to see what is on the horizon of the world of visual arts; the artworks in the show include painting, sculpture, drawing, film and video installation, a full cinematic program, and, for the first time, Internet art.

Since 1932, the Whitney's Biennial and Annual exhibitions have been among the primary milestones on the path through American art history. Many prominent artists have made their museum debuts at these diverse surveys of painting, sculpture, works on paper, and, since 1975, video art.
Through the Biennial, the Whitney has played a leading role in presenting vanguard developments in contemporary art to the general public and helping to establish a clear critical perspective on the creative achievements of the nation's artists.

For the next Biennial, we have assembled a versatile team of curators from around the country. Maxwell L. Anderson, director of the Whitney Museum, will oversee the curatorial team, which will consist of:

Michael G. Auping, chief curator, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas Valerie Cassel, director, Visiting Artists Program, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois Hugh Davies, director, Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, California Jane Farver, director, MIT-List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts Andrea Miller-Keller, independent curator, Hartford, Connecticut Lawrence R. Rinder, director, CCAC Institute, California College of Arts and Crafts, San Francisco and Oakland, California

We look forward to presenting a powerful and stimulating Biennial in March 2000. The exhibition will be funded in part by the National Committee of the Whitney Museum of American Art.

The Biennial is an invitational exhibition. We regret that due to the enormous response--over 700 unsolicited submissions from artists have already been received--we can no longer accept material. If you have sent material to the Whitney Museum and have enclosed a self-addressed, stamped envelope, you can expect to have your materials returned in the fall of 1999. If your materials were not accompanied by a S.A.S.E., please send one to the attention of the Biennial Exhibition Coordinator, Whitney Museum of American Art, 945 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10021. A list of all artists who have submitted unsolicited materials has been compiled and circulated to the exhibition's six curators, each of whom has reviewed the list and requested materials at his or her discretion.

For additional information or if you have questions about the status of your submission, please feel free to email
