MoMA PS1 has officially launched "Greater New York 2026," a massive building-wide exhibition featuring over 150 works by 53 artists and collectives. This quinquennial survey, which coincides with the institution’s 50th anniversary, showcases a diverse range of mediums including large-scale installations, painting, animation, and performance art. For the first time, the exhibition was organized by the museum’s entire curatorial team, resulting in a broad cross-section of the city's contemporary creative output.
As one of the most significant recurring surveys of the New York art scene, the exhibition serves as a vital barometer for the pressures and themes currently shaping urban life, such as surveillance, infrastructure strain, and collective resistance. By offering free admission and focusing on early- to mid-career artists with local ties, the show reinforces MoMA PS1's role as a community-centric hub for experimental art while celebrating its half-century legacy in Long Island City.
