(212) 570-3633 Fax (212) 570-4169 [email protected] ARTISTS SELECTED FOR 2008 WHITNEY BIENNIAL, OPENING MARCH 6 New York, March 4, 2008 – Eighty-one artists are participating in the 2008 Whitney Biennial, which opens at the Whitney Museum of American Art, 945 Madison Avenue at 75th Street, on March 6, and runs through June 1, 2008. Installations and performances organized by the Whitney and Art Production Fund,will also be presented in association with Park Avenue Armory (67th Street) from March 6-23. Since its founding in 1932, the Biennial has evolved into the Whitney’s signature exhibition as well as the most important survey of the state of contemporary art in the United States today. The exhibition will occupy the entire Museum, with the exception of the fifth floor, which is devoted to the permanent collection. For the first time, the Biennial will expand beyond the Museum’s Breuer building into Park Avenue Armory’s monumental Drill Hall and historic period rooms, creating an opportunity to present works that could not be accommodated within the Whitney’s walls and remaining true to the fluid, interactive way in which these works were conceived. The 2008 Biennial is curated by Henriette Huldisch, Assistant Curator at the Whitney, and Shamim M. Momin, Associate Curator at the Whitney and Branch Director and Curator of the Whitney Museum at Altria, and overseen by Donna De Salvo, the Whitney’s Chief Curator and Associate Director for Programs.

    Best Companies Supporting the Arts in America The Boeing Company The Boeing Company Chicago, Illinois Aerospace The Boeing Company believes that building strong communities requires creativity and imagination, skills that can be sharpened by participation in the arts. The company supports innovative projects that increase audiences and diversify the voices that create art. Each year it provides $12 million in grants to the arts, as well as in-kind donations and the expertise of its employees. Nominated by COCA – Center of Creative Arts St. Louis, Missouri Mark diSuvero sculpture in Millenium Park Chicago employees Boeing offers advice and counsel to arts organizations, loans executives to capital campaigns, recruits employees for service on boards and provides guidance in troubled times. Boeing’s Global Corporate Citizenship staff works with arts organizations to contribute to the organizations’ growth and development. For example, representatives of Boeing’s Global Corporate Citizenship staff conduct annual, in-depth interviews with the staff of Puget Sound arts and cultural organizations that the company funds. During these sessions, Boeing learns about each organization’s challenges and successes, and makes the organizations aware of the assistance the company might provide. Through its matching gift program, Boeing matches employees’ contributions to the arts dollar-for-dollar up to $6,000 per employee and $150,000 per organization each year. It encourages employee participation in the arts by offering free tickets to arts events at a number of its locations and, in its Chicago headquarters, employees receive a monthly e-mail with listings of arts and cultural events that employees can enjoy free or at a discounted price.
