Ruins of Empire II or The Earth Swallows the Master’s House, Kiyan Williams
The Whitney Biennial dates back to 1932. It is generally considered a barometer of trends in contemporary art. The artists selected for the biennial are generally younger and less known than would normally be exhibited in a museum like the Whitney. All of the works and installations on display were created in the last two years. The Biennial opens to the public today and continues through Aug. 11.

This post opened my eyes to a whole slew of new talent. I was drawn to the “Past Awaiting the Future” work by Maja Ruznic. Found it haunting. You inspired me to learn Maja Ruznic is a New Mexico–based painter who spent time in an Austrian refugee camp after her family’s flight from war-torn Bosnia.
