As part of the 2024 #WhitneyBiennial, People Who Stutter Create mobilized the Whitney's exhibition billboard at 95 Horatio Street, across the street from the Museum and the south end of the High Line. The artists, all of whom stutter, created this public artwork that celebrates the transformational space of dysfluency, a term that can encompass stuttering and other communication differences. In this podcast minisode, we hear from all five artists about their artwork titled Stuttering Can Create Time. Listen to the full episode at the link in our profile, and catch the billboard before it goes off view at the end of this weekend: https://lnkd.in/eQ3VVJR3 Speakers: Jia Bin Delicia Daniels JJJJJerome Ellis Conor Foran Kristel Kubart

The Whitney Museum of American Art seeks to be the defining museum of twentieth- and twenty-first-century American art.
About us
The Whitney seeks to be the defining museum of 20th- and 21st-century American art. The Museum collects, exhibits, preserves, researches, and interprets art of the United States in the broadest global, historical and interdisciplinary contexts. As the preeminent advocate for American art, we foster the work of living artists at critical moments in their careers. The Whitney educates a diverse public through direct interaction with artists, often before their work has achieved general acceptance.

Watch the progression of Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio's Paloma Blanca Deja Volar/White Dove Let us Fly (2024) as it has evolved over the course of the #WhitneyBiennial. The work is made primarily from modified amber, a petrified form of tree resin. "The amber material is something I've been working on for a while and it's the interior fluids of the pine tree," Aparicio told us, "And it's been altered to try to remove all of the things inside of it that make it fluid, that make it non-stable." There are just a few days left to see this year's Biennial in its entirety! The exhibition closes this Sunday, August 11.

"The present that we are in is upside down."—Cannupa Hanska Luger In our podcast minisode featuring Luger, the artist talks about his 2024 #WhitneyBiennial work that takes the form of a tipi inverted and hung from the ceiling of the gallery. But Luger lets us know that, "The tipi is not upside down. The tipi is actually in the right positioning, in right relationship, in a right way in the world if the world isn't as upside down as it is presently." Don't miss your chance to see Luger's Uŋziwoslal Wašičuta, on view in the Biennial only through this Sunday, August 11.
