The New Museum’s ‘New Humans’ Reckons With Human-Machine Relations in the Workplace

The New Museum has inaugurated its recently renovated space with 'New Humans: Memories of the Future,' a sprawling exhibition featuring over 700 works across four floors. The show explores the historical and evolving relationship between humanity and labor, tracing the narrative from ancient Mesopotamian myths to the industrial age and the rise of robotics. Key sections like 'Mechanical Ballets' highlight how artists have historically responded to the dehumanization of the workforce through the lens of early 20th-century avant-garde movements.

International artists speak of life as resistance, inspired by George Grosz: The exhibition in Rome

Artisti internazionali parlano della vita come resistenza, ispirandosi a George Grosz. La mostra a Roma

Tim Van Laere Gallery in Rome is hosting "Lust for Life," a group exhibition that explores the human impulse for creative resistance against societal fragility and global conflict. The show is anchored by the historical works of German artist George Grosz, whose drawings from 1912 to 1947 depict the alienation, loss of identity, and physical decay caused by world wars and totalitarian power.
