Sarah Cain @ Five Thirty Three coming...

MIDNIGHT MISSION: SARAH CAIN
A 2008 CALIFORNIA BIENNIAL OFF-SITE PROJECT

time to visit new orleans

Art Fag has a nice feature on Prospect.1 New Orleans:

Prospect 1 New Orleans: The Antidote To Miami

"...I’d probably be a lot more cranky right now if I hadn’t just spent a few days in New Orleans visiting Prospect 1., curator Dan Cameron’s Biennial brainchild, and the literal antidote to art fair malaise. Organized in part to help rebuild the city after the devastating effects of hurricane Katrina, the biennial takes place in seemingly countless locations across town. Three days ago I probably would have complained about having to drive through traffic, but in contrast to Miami, a very unfriendly car city and one often noted for it’s robust and expensive T&A culture, exploring the city of New Orleans offers stunning architecture, rich cultural history, great cheap food, amazing music, and right now a large amount of phenomenal art. Probably the most exciting aspect of Prospect 1. lays in the artist’s response to Katrina and the city itself, a focus that could have easily backfired..."

PR: Prospect.1 New Orleans [P.1], the largest biennial of international contemporary art ever organized in the United States, opened to the public on November 1, 2008 in museums, historic buildings, and found sites throughout New Orleans.

2010 whitney biennial curators announced

NYT: "...museum has paired Francesco Bonami, 53, a seasoned Italian-born curator with an international reputation, and Gary Carrion-Murayari, 28, a homegrown senior curatorial assistant. Mr. Bonami will serve as curator for the Biennial, with Mr. Carrion-Murayari acting as associate curator..."
TRY: ok, this sounds fine.
NYT: "I want to stretch the building’s dimensions,' Mr. Bonami said. 'Sometimes Biennials go all over the place. This one will be more specific."
TRY: alright, one place, that's all fine too but let's chalk this one up to the economy.
NYT: "...But now my challenge is to reflect on the idea of Americanness (said Bonami)...Mr. Carrion-Murayari said the notion of globalism, which was important in past Biennials, feels dated..."
TRY: hmmm, Americanness, why is it that Jon Stewart's impression of George Bush saying "america" is now running in my head. also, if Shepard Fairy makes it in, I am going to scream!
NYT: "The two men also said they were considering weaving works from the Whitney’s holdings into the Biennial, which would be a departure..."
TRY: terrible, just terrible. don't they understand the point of the biennial? sounds like a jay leno move.
