pp. 292, “The “2002 Biennial Exhibition” is the 71st in the Whitney Museum’s signature series highlighting the most significant developments in American art over the past few years. Throughout its history of support for the development of 20th- and 21st-century American art, the Whitney Museum has fostered contemporary artistic innovation and diversity through its acclaimed and often controversial Biennial. Countless prominent artists have made their museum debut at these diverse surveys of painting, sculpture, works on paper, film and video, performance, and installation. The current exhibition includes works by more than 100 artists in traditional Biennial mediums, as well as new inclusions such as web-related, digital, and sound art.” CD on front cover.
