raising discussions

Madison Ave., 2nd floor galleries.
The Clitney Perennial is a rogue group conversation to be staged in the
galleries of the Whitney Biennial. Impromptu conversations will be lead by
members of art collectives, along with individual artists, writers and curators
on the second floor of the Whitney Museum. The conversations are intended to
raise awareness about the lack of diversity in the show as a microcosm of the
larger art world.
Suzanne Lacy, renowned artist and activist endorses the event, "Clitney Perennial is hysterical,
combining serious activism with engaging humor; I wish these feminists the best
of luck!"
All museum attendees will be
welcome to gather in small groups for feminist consciousness raising
discussions. Conversations may conclude and re-form throughout the evening. Flowers
available at the front door of the museum may be worn by all participants.
