MoMA PS1's sixth edition of the "Greater New York" quinquennial exhibition has opened, showcasing the work of over 50 artists and collectives. The show aims to capture the current state of New York's art scene, highlighting new and ambitious work created despite challenging economic and political conditions.
The exhibition is a significant barometer for the city's contemporary art landscape, responding directly to ongoing debates about the viability of making art in an increasingly expensive New York. It serves as a crucial platform for emerging and mid-career artists, offering a counter-narrative to pessimism about the city's creative future.
