Biennial Net Artists in the Flesh

Yep, the latest edition of the Whitney Biennial, one of the art world's most anticipated exhibitons, will open this week. Net art will be included throughout the show, rather than be "ghettoized" this year, and viewers will get to see works by Lisa Jevbratt/C5, James Buckhouse, and others, among paintings, sculptures, videos, installations, and photographs. On March 8, however, the net artists featured in the Biennial will participate in a LIVE panel. It takes place from 7-9 PM at the Tishman Auditorium at 66 W 12th St. The discussion will be moderated by Christiane Paul, Adjunct Curator of New Media Arts at the Whitney Museum and responsible for the Biennial net art selection. Not in NYC? Don't despair. You can log on to a live Webcast at http://www.netart-init.org.
