Whitney Biennial

I particularly paid close attention to the work of art entitled, "Dual" by Hannah Greely. I liked the presentation of the work of art, showing how the title relates to the work of art. The dual side of the scene is laid out right on the other side of the object. You see the dual sides of the seat, table, mirror, and wall with a picture on it. I thought that this was a very effective piece in the way that it was presented. It was literal, but there was also an aspect to it, such as why did the artist construct it? All in all, the piece of art was one that I enjoyed.

The next piece of art that I also enjoyed was the piece called, "Couch for a long time" by Jessica Jackson Hutchins. In comparison to the other piece, this one had a more literal meaning. You can see that there are old pots on the couch, that looked like water carrier's water pots, which shows how old it was. Also, the couch has newspapers on it which infers to newspaper articles to a long time ago. The newspapers could be either from a long time ago, or from recently. Paying close attention to the detail of the couch, there are people pictured on it from the past, more enforcing the meaning of the title, couch for a long time. It is showing that the couch has been around for a long time. I enjoyed both pieces of art, and was happy to analyze them.
