Overview
- The exhibition is co-organized by Whitney curators Marcela Guerrero and Drew Sawyer with support from Beatriz Cifuentes and Carina Martinez.
- Museum materials say the show examines relationality with particular attention to infrastructures, kinships, geopolitical ties, and technological affinities.
- Director Scott Rothkopf describes this edition as prioritizing mood and texture over definitive arguments.
- The cohort is largely millennial, about a third self-identify as queer, and many are based in New York or California, with artists drawn from 25 states and overseas.
- Named participants include Basel Abbas & Ruanne Abou-Rahme, Kamrooz Aram, Joshua Citarella, and Sung Tieu, and the edition will be the first after the museum expanded free entry for visitors 25 and under.
