Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or via RSS. We follow the evolution of the Manhattan coastline through the history of the Meatpacking District, and celebrate the communities that have shaped the neighborhood where the Whitney now stands. Anchored on the banks of Manhattan’s West Side and stretching into the Hudson River, Hammons’s Day’s End is sited next to the Museum and occupies the precise location where Matta-Clark’s work once stood. This is a monumental, permanent public installation that pays tribute to a long-destroyed 1975 artwork of the same name by the artist Gordon Matta-Clark. We consider the American artist David Hammons and his new sculpture, Day’s End (2014–21). In keeping with the Whitney’s mission, collection, and programming, Artists Among Us is our newest mode of storytelling by which we consider the complexities and contradictions that have culminated in the United States we experience today. But, while virtual socializing is safest for everyone in terms of the pandemic, it will not keep players and their crewmates safe from the parasitic in-game Impostor, who looks more sus than ever when it infiltrates the third dimension.The Whitney Museum of American Art presents Artists Among Us, a podcast about American art and culture. Engaging with friends and family through the gameplay and Discord is an easy way to maintain a good distance physically without losing the social aspect that is a huge part of being human.

The results would make the hairs of even the hardiest of gamers stand on end.Įven though Among Us was originally released in 2018, it has only been this year that it has garnered mainstream success within the gaming community.

It is more in keeping with the board game style of play and has been described as the Ultimate Werewolf of the videogame world. Even though the threat is there, there is always a sense of detachment from the consequences of the gameplay with the way the game is portrayed. Many games use realistic graphics, first person camera angles and cinematic cutscenes to fully immerse their players in the action. With the easy-going graphics and cartoonish death scenes, it is easy to forget the actual horror that would be unfolding in the crewmates’ minds if this was a real-life scenario. Now one artist has reimagined the simple art style of the crewmates (or is it the elusive Impostor?) in an incredible 3D rendering, bringing a terrifying realism to the social deduction game. With Among Us continuing its popularity streak into the colder months, the fan dedications have continued to grow. One gaming enthusiast has taken Among Us fan art to a new level by recreating the game's one of the game's characters in terrifyingly realistic 3D.
