Even if the Whitneybiennial.com is in “competition” with the Museum show, because it represents a different view of the actual visual reality, it is not an anti-show. It completes instead, the intention of the official show to “expose multiple, sometimes conflicting currents, as well as extraordinary works that fall outside of any conventional aesthetic definition”.
