One week and a few hours from now, Chrissie Iles from the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Walker’s own Philippe Vergne will be in the house to talk about curating the 2006 Whitney Biennial. This is the show that everyone loves to hate, or at least loves to criticize. Well, get ready because this will all be rolled into the act. As part of their presentation, Iles and Vergne plan to respond directly to some of the published criticism of the show. Here in Public Programs we’ve spent the past few days culling articles and highlighting quotes from the likes of Michael Kimmelman, Jerry Saltz and of course Tyler Green in preparation for the talk.
It all happens on Monday, April 3 at 7 pm. Tickets are $5–that’s cheaper than a movie for just as much drama and action! If you can’t physically manifest yourself at the Walker on that day, catch the whole thing online at the Walker Channel.

There’s Christopher Knight too, of course: http://www.calendarlive.com/galleriesandmuseums/knight/cl-et-whitney22mar22,0,1061602.story?coll=cl-art-knight
