The Whitney Museum of American Art presents Open Plan, an experimental five-part exhibition
From February 26 through May 14, 2016, the #whitneymuseum of American Art will present Open Plan, an experimental five-part exhibition using the Museum’s dramatic fifth floor as a single open gallery, unobstructed by interior walls. The largest column-free museum exhibition space in #newyork, the Neil Bluhm Family Galleries measure 18,200 square feet and feature windows with striking views east into the city and west to the Hudson River, making for an expansive and inspiring canvas. Five artists have been invited to present solo projects in response to the space, lasting from a few days to just over two weeks. They include installation and performance artist #andreafraser; painter #lucydodd; sculptor and earth artist #michaelheizer; jazz composer and performer #ceciltaylor; and video- and filmmaker #stevemcqueen.
“The Whitney’s fifth- floor gallery was conceived as an unparalleled exhibition space to inspire artists and curators, as well as our visitors, with its openness and flexibility,” remarks Scott Rothkopf, Deputy Director for Programs and Nancy and Steve Crown Family Chief Curator. “To celebrate the end of our inaugural year downtown, we wanted to reveal this space for the first time in its entirety and give artists the opportunity to respond to the site with new projects or to display work from the collection that we couldn’t have previously shown. The featured artists span a broad range of ages, mediums, and approaches, and we’ve asked them to respond to the space with a light touch and without interior construction in order to lend Open Plan a lively and experimental spirit.”
The consecutive parts of the exhibition are scheduled as follows:
Andrea Fraser
February 26–March 13
Lucy Dodd
March 17–20
Michael Heizer
March 25–April 10
