“Offered: four artist tickets (for two) to the Whitney Biennial’s exclusive VIP party for patrons, curators, and Biennial artists only. Winning bidders will become official Whitney Biennial artists. This is one of the only shortcuts we know of to being the honored artist at this most important of American art exhibitions. For the duration of the event, you will be able to speak with an array of influential curators, wealthy patrons, and fellow important artists. (It is in some ways preferable to attending as a patron, which in any case requires you to make an enormous donation to the Whitney Museum.)” (From the Nettime mailing list archives)
