1/2 New Museum


The New Museum, founded in downtown New York City in 1977, focuses on the most current, international contemporary art scene that promotes new art forms and new ideas. Its mission is to show only living artists and have a continuous dialogue with the audience while documenting and exhibiting works that are within ten years before the current, which includes a digital archive for documentation of technology-based works, publications and programs. Since the 1980s, the museum begins to put emphasis on artworks other than traditional mediums such as painting and sculptures, and exhibited film, video, television, photography and performance on a regular basis (http://www.newmuseum.org/history). In 2003, the New Museum affiliated with Rizome, a leading online platform for comprehensive new media art. 

A current video show by Greek artist Eva Papamargariti: Facticious Imprints is currently on view until June 19th, 2016  A recent interesting exhibition that I visited there, Anri Sala: Answer Me, features his comprehensive survey that combines music, sound, video, architecture, history and performance. Future exhibition will include Pipilotti Rist: Pixel Forrest, by a Swiss artist famous for her video art and multimedia installations.
