BILL BRADY of ATM - is pleased to announce that gallery artist - HUMA BHABHA - has been included in the selection for the upcoming WHITNEY 2010 BIENNIAL. HUMA BHABHA always serves up both a great visual and contextual statement - of rich complexity and superior originality.
but overall - the selection seems a little on the ’strange’ art side of things, with a lot of the artists unknown to this scribe.
THE BRUCE HIGH QUALITY FOUNDATION is given a chance to show they deserve their recent p.r. - can they jump to the plate ?
DANNY McDONALD, best known for his work with ART CLUB 2000 - sprung out of the glory days of COLIN DeLAND and AMERICAN FINE ARTS - is a surprise pop-up. good luck, Danny !! ARI MARCOPOULOS rings a bell - and his participation should be both lively and pictorial. the big question mark is - GEORGE CONDO - what the hell - is he doing in the mix - can a slot in the WHITNEY BIENNIAL - be bought ?
watch: a brief statement by the 2010 BIENNIAL curators, FRANCESCO BONAMI & GARY CARRION - MURAYARI !!
it sounds more like an apology than anything else - not a good sign - for the first step - going into a big project - whose rep, in fact the whole brand - has been severely diminished, one could even say, squandered over a past decade - of very lame - outings.
you can see: an interesting take on the Museum itself in this video clip, 2nd option down here !! - and the 2010 animation logo - is swift !! but the naming of the names seem to take a dubious jittery second place vibe. these guys seem more scared - than anything else. you know - like when a pol or CEO gets the chairperson seat - outta default - cause no one else wants to handle the hot potato - of a sinking ship. but maybe, just maybe - their steely low-down - will hit a steely mark ?
