' Since 1932, the Whitney Museum's Biennial exhibitions have been among the milestones in the history of American art and have consistently played a leading role in presenting vanguard developments to the public. Always innovative, and often controversial, Whitney Biennials are designed to inform and engage the visitors by bringing emerging artists to public attention and highlighting the recent accomplishments of more well-known artists...the result is a robust cross-section of contemporary art, including painting, sculpture, photography, installation, film and video, performance, and, for the first time, Internet art- along with works that fit into no definable category. Once again, the Whitney is establishing a critical perspective on the latest creative achievements of American artists.' - abstract taken from inside cover of catalogue. This catalogue includes a foreword by Maxwell L. Anderson, Director of the Whitney Biennial 2000. Also included are short essays on each artist as well as biographies.
