Camille Henrot and Hillary Taymour, wearing Collina Strada, are featured in a Cultured magazine interview marking the reopening of the New Museum on March 21, 2026, after a 60,000-square-foot expansion by OMA. The conversation is part of a series pairing three artists from the inaugural exhibition "New Humans: Memories of the Future" with three downtown fashion designers. Henrot discusses her New York origin story, her film *In the Veins* premiering in the show, and her upcoming play *Commedia dell’Arte* at the Aspen Art Museum’s AIR Festival, while Taymour recounts moving from Los Angeles to New York in 2010 to pursue fashion design.
The article matters because it captures the intersection of contemporary art and fashion in downtown New York, contextualized by the New Museum's historic expansion—the first major enlargement since its founding in 1977. The dialogues between artists and designers serve as intimate reflections on creativity, sustainability, and the challenges of making a living in the city, while the museum's reopening signals a renewed commitment to showcasing avant-garde work in a rapidly changing cultural landscape.
