Forensic Architecture withdraws from Whitney Biennial, citing evidence linking board member to violence in Gaza
Forensic Architecture has announced its decision to withdraw from the 2019 Whitney Biennial. The London-based research group has also requested to replace its 10-minute video about the global spread of tear gas and bullets produced by companies linked to Whitney Museum vice chairman Warren Kanders, with new evidence they’ve found that directly links the weapons manufacturer to violence on the Israeli-Palestinian border in Gaza.
The fallout over the unethical business ties of certain members of the Whitney Museum of American Art's board of trustees continues unabated.
Forensic Architecture's decision to join seven other exhibitors in withdrawing from the prestigious 2019 Whitney Biennial exhibition comes as the art world questions the ethically-dubious funding that underpins some of the field's more coveted and valued institutions and events.
