We know what we think of this year’s Whitney Biennial — and we’ll be letting you know soon — but in the meantime you can find out others’ thoughts on the 2012 exhibit at the next meeting of the Review Panel, being held March 30 at 6:00 at the National Academy. The National Academy regularly invites a small group of art critics and writers to discuss current exhibitions going on around the city, but this time they’ll focus only on the biennial, for which curators Elisabeth Sussman and Jay Sanders have added some different elements. David Cohen of artcritical.com will moderate the discussion, with participants Bill Berkson (artcritical.com, Art in America), Will Heinrich (The New York Observer), and Karen Wilkin (The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal). The National Academy is in the midst of its own annual exhibition right now, which we’ll also be telling you more about shortly. The next Review Panel is scheduled for April 27 with Cohen, Lance Esplund, Maddie Phinney, and Barry Schwabsky examining several shows taking place around town.
