New Museum Expansion & Exhibition
As part of its 60,000-square-foot building expansion, the New Museum in New York City opened with the exhibition New Humans: Memories of the Future on March 21. Spanning the entire museum—alongside several major new commissions that will be on long-term view in and around the building—this exhibition features more than 200 artists, writers, scientists, architects and filmmakers, exploring how technological developments have inspired evolving definitions of the “human.” The expansion project broke ground in November 2022 and will double the museum’s exhibition space, creating new venues for artist residencies and public programs, and establishing a permanent home for the museum’s cultural incubator NEW INC.
