One of the most prestigious shows in the contemporary art world — and sometimes one of the most controversial — has just opened at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The 80th Whitney Biennial is titled “Quiet as It’s Kept,” a colloquial saying signifying at once a Max Roach album from 1959, a phrase employed repeatedly by Toni Morrison and a 2002 exhibition curated by David Hammons.

Delayed a year by the pandemic, the Whitney exhibition is on view now exclusively for members and opens to the general public on April 6th, running through September 5th. PURCHASE TICKETS
