Tourmaline's #WhitneyBiennial film Pollinator (2022) is 'designed to feel like a portal or as if you're a pollinator entering a flower to disperse your experience.'

In honor of the 2024 #WhitneyBiennial we took a look way back at the very fist Biennial in 1932.

Harold Cohen: AARON closes May 19!

Harold Cohen devoted his life to exploring the potential of AI to translate an artist's knowledge and process into code. The works in this exhibition were made with AI and include drawings, paintings, videos, and projections.
