The Whitney Biennial Exhibition, which opens tomorrow, is reminiscent of the Paris Salons of the 19th century – a smattering of collected art crammed under one roof. With an added abundance of film, video, and Internet art, there’s no way any of the projects will get the attention they deserve, but the “Salons, both old and new, are about visual consumption — a breezy shopping trip for mind and eye in the art world’s megamall.” – The Globe and Mail (Canada)
