"The inaugural show is packed to the rafters and overhung, but that's the point: It's supposed to be too much. You couldn't finish it in a single walk-through."
"Massimiliano can really spread his wings now, said Tschabalala Self, whose outdoor sculpture of a smooching couple references the nearby architectural 'kiss point' where the old and new buildings merge."
"Lisa Phillips, the outgoing director of the museum, called the reconfigured building 'a spaceship.' It seems to me more like an ark, something built to carry art through an uncertain future."
The New Museum's renovation has added 10,000 square feet of gallery space, allowing for expansive exhibitions. Massimiliano Gioni's inaugural show, 'New Humans: Memories of the Future,' features over 700 objects from more than 200 artists. The exhibition encourages visitors to wander and engage deeply with the art. The reconfigured building has been described as a 'spaceship' and an 'ark,' symbolizing its role in navigating the future of art. The design includes sharp angles and a flowing layout, enhancing the overall experience.
