Forget WikiLeaks, this week is all about Whitney Leaks. The Whitney Biennial, the large-scale New York exhibition known for setting trends and setting unknown artists on their way becoming household names.
The upcoming group is dominated by filmmakers, from Warner Herzog to Vincent Gallo and George Kuchar. Yet between the 51 participating artists the range is astounding, from Georgia Sagri, an activist for Occupy Artist Space, to Red Krayola, a psychedelic avant-garde rock band from the 1960's.
