Since the first hand print made 45,000 years ago on a cave wall, humans have attempted to answer the question of us. In the right hands (pun intended) art has a fascinating way of engaging this topic, which sits at the nexus of science and philosophy. New Humans, a brilliant, exhaustive and at times, exhausting exhibit, makes a visit to the newly expanded New Museum, doubly worthwhile- come for the building and stay for the show! I have truly missed this museum while it's been closed. The New Museum has an independent voice and a distinctly different point of view from other Manhattan-based cultural institutions. The new SANA building feels expansive but remains intimate, an architectural masterstroke and perfect container for this fascinating show. BRAVO!
