New Art, New Ideas http://www.newmuseum.org The New Museum is the only museum in New York City exclusively devoted to contemporary art.
(5726)

Founded in 1977, the New Museum is a center for exhibitions, information, and documentation about living artists from around the world. From its beginnings as a one-room office on Hudson Street to the inauguration of its first freestanding building on the Bowery designed by SANAA in 2007, the New Museum continues to be a place of experimentation and a hub of new art and new ideas.

This is how your socks keep going missing btw 😅🧦

“Krapfen” (2025), a new film by artist Diego Marcon, features floating articles of clothing that dance around the room embodying the child protagonist’s parents. The title of the film—the word for an Austrian jam doughnut—is relentlessly repeated throughout the film’s soundtrack becoming both taunting and tempting.

Experience the work alongside other films by Marcon in the exhibition “Arrivederci, Piggies!,” on view at the New Museum through January 31, 2027.

Then ➡️ Now

The Bowery, the street now home to the New Museum, is one of New York’s oldest thoroughfares and most mythologized neighborhoods. Over 100 years ago, the Lizpin Theatre stood where the New Museum now stands at 235 Bowery.

Now on view at the New Museum, "The Bowery: Devil's Mile" chronicles more than 400 years of the street's history from its origins as a Lenape footpath, to its colonial history, to the rise of 19th century theaters and dime museums, to the artists that made it their home in the 20th century.

Visit today and learn more about how the Bowery has shaped the cultural history of New York City. Learn more about the exhibition: https://www.newmuseum.org/exhibition/the-bowery-devils-mile/

“I exist in this tension between what I’m in a position to do now, what I aspire to do now, and the fact that it’s an idea I had thirty years ago.”

For more than forty years, artist Arthur Jafa has continuously experimented to find new visual forms capturing the rhythm and realities of Black life in America. His latest exhibition at New Museum “Arthur Jafa: I Am Tony” includes the premiere of new productions by the artist alongside some of his most iconic works.

“I grew up with some artists who thought ‘I’m an artist first, not a Black artist,’” Arthur Jafa (Arthur Jafa) tells the New York Times. “They were running away from being Black in order to be seen as ‘universal.’ My art is super-Black. My interests are super-Black. But for me, Black is not a narrow idea.”

“Arthur Jafa: I Am Tony,” the largest survey of the artist’s work to date, opens September 24 at the New Museum. Through prolonged and thoughtful engagement with social media, internet culture, cinematic history, and popular music, Jafa wields an arsenal of images to communicate the complexities of contemporary Black life, along with the way it is both imagined, commodified, and consumed.

Over a nearly forty-year career, Arthur Jafa (Arthur Jafa) has sought to find new visual forms to capture the rhythm and realities of Black life in America.

Through his practice, Jafa has built a staggering visual archive of images that cuts across histories and arenas of culture. This material is collaged, montaged, and rearranged into “affective proximities”—a term Jafa borrows from friend and collaborator John Akomfrah—that illuminate and unsettle the ways that race is communicated and experienced through contemporary media today.
