CANYON, set to open in 2026 at Essex Crossing, NYC, aims to redefine contemporary art engagement with a focus on video, sound, and durational art. This innovative space, designed by Robert Rosenkranz and Joe Thompson, will merge museum, performance venue, and social space, departing from traditional sterile environments. Its programming will address themes like artificial intelligence and climate anxiety, inviting audiences to engage deeply. The space will offer 18,000 square feet of gallery area, a 60-foot atrium, and a performance hall, designed to foster community, interaction, and a welcoming atmosphere for both artists and audiences.
In a world where most people engage with information, memory, and identity through screens, video has become the natural language of rising generations.
Artists are using that language in profoundly inventive ways, embracing complexity and nuance that demand patience and presence.
CANYON will prioritize warmth, interaction, and hospitality, feeling more like a living room than a white cube.
The space aims to be a hybrid between museum, performance venue, and social gathering space, redefining engagement with contemporary art.
