New Art21 Documentary Follows Camille Henrot as She Completes New Work for the New Museum’s Reopening

Art21 has announced the premiere of a new documentary titled "Camille Henrot: In Movement," scheduled for release on April 22, 2026. Directed by Adam Golfer, the film tracks the multidisciplinary artist over the course of a year as she prepares a new body of work, including paintings, bronze sculptures, and a new film titled "In the Veins" (2026). The production follows Henrot from her New York studio to a foundry in Paris, capturing her creative process leading up to a major presentation at the newly reopened New Museum.

This release highlights the intersection of digital art media and institutional milestones, serving as a promotional bridge for the New Museum’s highly anticipated reopening. By documenting Henrot’s transition between various media and her exploration of how digital screens mediate global catastrophes, the film provides critical context for her latest commissions. It also reinforces Art21's role as a primary chronicler of contemporary art processes, offering the public behind-the-scenes access to high-stakes institutional preparations.
