Sixties Surreal: Re-Dreaming the 1960s at the Whitney
Stepping into Sixties Surreal at the Whitney is less like entering a museum than falling into a dream — or perhaps a waking hallucination. This sweeping show reimagines American art of the “long 1960s” (1958–1972) through a lens both defiant and uncanny, recentering voices and aesthetics often sidelined by dominant art histories. Glenwood residents keep reading to find out more.
Unsettling Canon, Reshuffled
Curated by Dan Nadel, Laura Phipps, Scott Rothkopf, and Elisabeth Sussman, among others, the exhibition collects 111 artists whose work grapples with disorientation, identity, fantasy, and power. The Whitney describes it as “a bold, once-in-a-generation exhibition” that aims to restore overlooked stories to the center.
Too often, the narrative of the 1960s art world is told through Pop, Minimalism, and Conceptualism. Sixties Surreal challenges that story by bringing forward an alternative current: one grounded in the surreal, the bodily, the uncanny — the underground energies that seeped through formalism’s cracks.
