Biography

Dave McKenzie (b. 1977) prompts observers to reconsider seemingly familiar feelings, settings, and actions. This focused exhibition presents McKenzie’s performances for the camera and documentation of his live art alongside pieces drawn from the Whitney’s collection by artists who have informed the concepts, gestures, and sensibilities in his work. The juxtaposition of McKenzie's art with that of Trisha Brown, Chris Burden, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Gordon Matta-Clark, Bruce Nauman, and Pope.L connects these artists' shared awareness of a voyeuristic audience, the incorporation of architecture, risk-taking, and the emphasis on public intervention.
