The New Museum in New York has opened a major new extension designed by architects Shohei Shigematsu and Rem Koolhaas of OMA. The expansion is inaugurated with a new exhibition titled "New Humans: Memories of the Future," curated by the museum's artistic director Massimiliano Gioni.
This architectural and programmatic expansion significantly increases the museum's footprint and capacity, marking a pivotal moment for the institution. Concurrently, the episode highlights a new book analyzing the influence of younger collectors on the art market and an exhibition exploring the historical impact of plants, indicating a broader examination of how contemporary institutions, market forces, and historical narratives are currently evolving.
