At the 2026 Whitney Biennial, Malcolm Peacock shows us his sculptural installation “Five of them were hers and she carved shelters with windows into the backs of their skulls” (2024).⁠ ⁠ The work takes the form of a coastal redwood tree, inspired by his trips to the Pacific Northwest. Made up of approximately 3,500 hand-braided strands created over ten months, the surface of Peacock’s sculpture immediately centers braiding as both process and meaning. For him, braiding connects to family, lineage, and Black communal knowledge, transforming an intimate, care-based act into something monumental and immersive.⁠ ⁠ “In this work specifically, I'm thinking a lot about the commitment that takes place between different individuals inside of the space of hair braiding as a way to discuss and explore ideas of communion, ideas or togetherness, ideas of unison, and really overall ideas of generosity.”⁠ ⁠ Follow ARTnews for more.

A reminder to go look at art. Just to stand in front of something made by another human being and let it do whatever it does to you. While in NYC, I spent some time wandering through galleries and the Whitney Biennial, and left feeling a little more inspired, curious, and ready to make. Artists need to be viewers, too. These clips are from New Traditions gallery and the Whitney Biennial. Didn’t grab all the names of the artists. Please tag if you know! Only know my old Armory peer @youngjoonkwak at the Whitney! Sound is from a collectors interview of Nancy Margoon #art #artinspo #whitneybiennial #nycgalleries

"Whitney Biennial 2026" is an invitation to tune in to the mood of the moment and the shifting currents of art in the United States. How does this take shape? Join us for a quick guided tour with this year's curators, Drew Sawyer (@drewmsawyer) and Marcela Guerrero, to explore it further. Walking alongside the curators, you'll notice how the exhibition foregrounds atmosphere and mood to form an ongoing conversation, rather than a definitive answer, about the complex relationships of contemporary life. Watch the full film on the Hyundai Artlab website artlab.hyundai.com and experience "Whitney Biennial 2026" in person at the @whitneymuseum, on view through August 23.

Best of the Whitney Biennial @whitneymuseum - Truth is, this was a very strange Biennial. But I found some gems!

The 2026 Whitney Biennial runs March 8–August 23, 2026. Find the museum in Manhattan’s Meatpacking neighborhood; the nearest subway stop is the 14th St/Eighth Ave station, served by the A/C/E and L lines. It’s right off the @highlinenyc, which is also a nice way to get there. Admission: adults, $30; seniors and students, $24; 25 and under, free; members, free. More info at whitney.org; link in bio. The 82nd edition of the Whitney Biennial brings together work by 56 artists, duos, and collectives exploring contemporary life through themes of relationality, from family and technology to ecology and geopolitics. Shaped by a moment of profound transition, the exhibition emphasizes mood and atmosphere, offering immersive environments that reflect the complexity and contradictions of the present. The @whitneymuseum is the world’s leading museum of 20th-century and contemporary art of the United States. Focusing particularly on works by living artists, the Whitney is celebrated for presenting important exhibitions and for its renowned collection, which comprises over 21,000 works by more than 3,000 artists. With a history of exhibiting the most promising and influential artists and provoking intense debate, the Whitney Biennial, the museum’s signature exhibition, has become the most important survey of the state of contemporary art in the United States.
