According to the old adage, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” The New York Times tasked five artists to construct “visual book reviews” for an art-themed issue of the Sunday Book Review.
The following creatives took part in this project: Wangechi Mutu, Joan Jonas, Jacolby Satterwhite, Kader Attia and Ed Ruscha.
Mutu reviewed Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things, Jonas reviewed John Berger’s Why Look at Animals?, Satterwhite reviewed Andrew Durbin’s Mature Themes, Attia reviewed Souleymane Bachir Diagne’s African Art as Philosophy and Ruscha reviewed Ron Padgett’s Oklahoma Tough.
Each individual chose a book that they found inspiring; all of them wrote one short paragraph to discuss the reason why they chose that book. Click here to view all five pieces.
The Whitney Biennial is one of the most anticipated events in the world of art museums. Begun as an annual survey of American art in 1932, it became a biennial in 1973. Its overall purpose is to show a snapshot of the contemporary art world, often focusing on very recent works. For the art intelligentsia, it is often an excuse to complain about a) the state of contemporary art, and b) the curatorial choices made, or both—with occasional exceptions, such as the 2012 Biennial, which was met with overwhelming praise.
