Perimeter: We Live Here Now is a show echoing Larry Rinder's The American Effect. Off the soundly hated by New York blue chip galleries 2002 Whitney Biennial. Rinder decided to risk certain firing, already likely as a result of the Biennial. in 2003 he brought dozens of artworks by world artists themed on their view of America to a post 9/11 New York. The show was judged a success, as is the 2002 biennial, today. (Rinder later skewered the New York art fame machine in his hilarious novel Revenge of the Decorated Pigs, only available at Publication Studio, see below)
