A BIENNIAL FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM

For nearly a century Washington’s Corcoran Gallery has organized biennial exhibitions devoted to contemporary American painting. Even in recent years – when painting had long since ceased to be where the action was – the painting Biennials persisted. Now, after decades of floundering around, the Corcoran has stepped into the new millennium by confronting art as it really is. The result is a show focused on how painting, photography, video, computers and other electronic media have intersected and influenced one another. – Washington Post
