‘The Whitney Biennial should hurl itself at the newest developments, but always with a backwards look.’ Dan Cameron
‘Biennials may be the new endangered species, their pastures overgrazed by art fairs, whose purpose is partial and equivocal.’ Neville Wakefield
‘The Whitney needs to avoid being a chart-toppers run-down of the tediously hip.’ Dan Fox
‘It was nice of the curators to include non-native artists residing in the US but apparently it’s easier to get in via Italy than Tennessee’. Katy Siegel
Alex Farquharson explores Cameron Jamie’s fascination with wrestling, the Los Angeles valley suburbs of his childhood and Old and New World rituals from Halloween to the ancient Austrian custom of Kranky Klaus.
