Ellie Ga: The Fortunetellers
MON, Jul 22, 2019
7 pm
The Fortunetellers is a narrative-based performance drawn from 2019 Biennial artist Ellie Ga’s experiences during a five-month expedition near the North Pole. Ga combines memories with a vast array of documents—including photographs, videos, annotated sketches, maps, and travel logs—created and archived during her travels. She superimposes live storytelling, recorded sound, still images, and moving images to conjure up the terms and rituals of daily life in the Arctic night.
Runtime: 50 minutes
Tickets are required ($10 adults, $8 members, students, seniors, and visitors with a disability).

Ethics of Looking: Whitney Biennial 2019
This program offers advanced graduate students the opportunity to work directly with the Whitney’s collection and audiences within a supportive community of their peers and museum educators.
Whitney courses are multi-week programs that examine key issues in twentieth- and twenty-first-century American art and culture.
College and university students are invited to come as a class to explore the Whitney, guided by either their professor or one of our Teaching Fellows.
