This summer, The Whitney hosts “Dan Graham: Beyond”, a retrospective on the American conceptual artist. Every Friday in July, museum goers also get a free concert (with pay-what-you-wish ticket admission) of some of indie rock’s rising alternative stars. Great way to try to show a girl how hip you can really be… or not.
Your CF will only view art if it’s on the cheap and that means you’ve got to wait until Friday night and then you’ve got to wait in line to get into the Whitney. It’s technically “pay-what-you-wish,” from 6-9 p.m. which translates to a coin or two to your CF. Once inside, you’ll see everything from Hopper to ordinary household objects encased in glass. Is all of this art? The Whitney thinks so.
