Christine Finley Curates Every Woman
The Whitney Houston Biennial Serenades New York City Art Scene, 125 Female Voices Create Their Greatest Love of All
THE WHITNEY HOUSTON BIENNIAL: GREATEST LOVE OF ALL

New York - The 2017 Whitney Houston Biennial: Greatest Love of All comes as a response to the awakening representation of women artists in major museums and galleries. To high- light female artists in New York this season, curator and artist Christine Finley will host fe- male artists from a varied range of geographic and cultural backgrounds, disciplines, methodologies, and generations. The aim of bringing together so many creative voices is to sing a collective song that celebrates the contributions of pioneering female artists and marks a moment in our communal trajectory. In this newest incarnation, Finley is asking each artist to select a female pioneer who inspires them to accompany their work of art, thereby expanding the show through generations of inspiring women who came before them.

“The Whitney Houston Biennial is a feast for the eyes and a celebration of female voices.” Artist and curator C. Finley

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, five years since her untimely passing.
