THE WHITNEY HOUSTON BIENNIAL: I’M EVERY WOMAN

Brooklyn, New York (March 9^th 2014) 20 Jay Street suite 207 Dumbo, Brooklyn

The 2014 Whitney Houston Biennial: I’m Every Woman is a feast for the eyes and a celebration of female voices. The biennial comes as a response to the continuing minimal representation of women artists in major museums and galleries. To bring some balance to the art institutions in New York this season, curator and artist Christine Finley will host more than fifty female artists from a varied range of geographic and cultural backgrounds, disciplines, methodologies, and generations. The artists studio will be transformed into an inviting, living space, a salon filled with work from artists including Mickalene Thomas, Guerilla Girls, Swoon, Sienna Shields, and Annie Sprinkle & Beth Stephens. The aim of bringing together so many creative voices is to sing a collective song that celebrates the contributions of pioneer female artists and marks a moment in our communal trajectory. The show’s title not only playfully addresses the traditional (and concurrent) exhibit held at the Whitney Museum, but also honors a strong and brilliant lady, two years since her untimely passing, who once sang these words from Chaka Khan:

Whatever you want

Whatever you need

Anything you want done

I do it naturally

Because I’m every woman

It’s all in me.
