Let’s break it down — the New Museum has reopened, the Affordable Art Fair and Outsider Art Fair have just wrapped up over the weekend, and now we find ourselves in the midst of Asia Art Week. Keeping up with all these events can be quite the challenge.
Fortunately, we’ve got you covered. Last week, our editors attended the New Museum’s press preview and gathered to discuss our insights and emotions. (Things got quite intense, indeed.) Additionally, Aaron Short provides an in-depth look at the building’s details, covering everything from coat checks to elevators, staircases, and exhibition areas.
With some time to reflect on this year’s Whitney Biennial, Editor-in-Chief Hakim Bishara shares his perspective on the pivotal question: Does it resonate with the current moment? Find his analysis below.
Moreover, we offer a guide to upcoming art fairs (don’t worry, the next one’s not until April), and we visited both the Affordable Art Fair and Outsider Art Fair for those who couldn’t attend. Similar to the (old) New Museum, this issue is packed with content.
