...YORK--It may be impossible to finger the zeitgeist of contemporary art, but lucky for us the Whitney Museum would rather die than give up trying. Critics, however, would probably have killed the Whitney Biennial, the museum's signature showcase of contemporary art, years ago if it weren't for the fact that they would miss having a major exhibition to consistently complain about. The '93 Biennial, which featured the Rodney King video, was deemed too narrow and political, the '95 show too reactionary in its overemphasis on painting. Ironically, this year's exhibition has been labeled "tepid" and "boring...

Created and directed by the photographer Luca Babini (Hutton's boyfriend), the talk show looks like no other. It is filmed, not taped, and the camera sways back and forth, not only between Hutton and her guest, seated across from each other at a table dressed with a fruit bowl, but also to TV-screen images of them looking alternately fascinated and confused...
