The Whitney Museum of American Art appoints Meg Onli and Zack Winokur as curators of the 2028 Whitney Biennial, the museum announced across several outlets. The exhibition will be the 83rd edition of the Biennial and is described as a much-scrutinized, high-profile recurring survey.
All sources agree that Onli is already closely tied to the museum, serving as the Nancy and Fred Poses Curator. They also concur that she co-organized the 2024 Whitney Biennial, titled “Even Better Than the Real Thing.” Regarding Winokur, outlets note his background in the arts, including that he previously served as artistic director of Little Island; one outlet also adds that he founded the American Modern Opera Company. The coverage largely focuses on the curators’ prior experience and institutional connection rather than on any new curatorial concept or participating artists.
