ArtForum, May, 2003 by Daniel Birnbaum
With millions across the world demonstrating against the war in Iraq, the timing is no doubt auspicious for "The American Effect," an extensive international exhibition exploring perceptions of American culture and society abroad. Curated by the Whitney's Lawrence Rinder, the show will include approximately forty works produced since 1990 in all media by artists from Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas, ranging in content and tone from gauzy idealizing of the American dream to hostile jeremiads.
