Two MCAD alums in 2010 Whitney Biennial

The people behind the Whitney Biennial - a high profile exhibition which takes the pulse of the art world - have released the names of the artists who made the cut for its latest incarnation. It's an unusually short list, down from 100 artists in 2006 to 81 artists in 2008 to now just 55 artists in 2010. Two of the artists got their training at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design: Jim Casebere (BFA '76) and Kelly Nipper (BFA '93).
