Suspect this can happen again in totally new ways with OWS, both here & elsewhere, that will now as a result really change things. More on the below Facebook link.

Bill Rabinovitch Our First “Whitney Counterweight” Catalogue held in multiple gallery spaces in SoHo spring 1977 in conjunction with the Whitney Biennial — possible ongoing relevance for OWS.

How do artist benefit from losing a show which hundreds of thousands attend? How would closing down the largest contemporary art show in the US help get artists and art workers more money? Instead of closing down any exhibit that benefits trustees, collectors, or corporations (pretty much any exhibit would fall into this category), why doesn’t the occupy movement, with it’s hundreds of thousands in donations, propose putting on their own show which WOULD benefit the artists? Why don’t you push an agenda which actually directly helps artists, in the way they say the Whitney Biennial doesn’t?
