Tonight I went to the opening reception for Xavier Cha, Cory Arcangel, and Lyonel Feininger at the Whitney. All exhibitions offer an eclectic and diverse spectrum of art. Xavier’s piece is performative, physically and perceptually engaging a performer (an actor) and the viewer in space. Cory’s work is technology based and heavily influenced by pop cultural mediums- photoshop, LCD screens, gaming systems, et cetera. Feininger wraps it all together with a retrospective of his work from his early drawings as a comic illustrator to his late analytical cubist paintings.
Definitely worth seeing.
