Eight Artists Withdraw From Whitney Biennial, Citing Board Member Whose Company Makes Tear Gas

VISUAL Posted: July 21, 2019 8:30 am

One of the artists wrote to Hyperallergic, “As a mother to a 2-year-old daughter, it terrifies me that my work is currently part of a platform that is now strongly associated with Kanders’ teargas-producing company Safariland. … I have recently taken her to several demonstrations and that further heightened my awareness of the situation. I do not want her to grow up in a world where free and peaceful expression is countered with means that have left people injured and dead.” – Hyperallergic
