Pepón Osorio: My Beating Heart/ Mi corazón latiente Through 09/17/23 Second Floor Informed by his background in theater and performance as well as his experiences as a child services case worker and professor, Osorio’s richly textured sculptures and installations are deeply invested in political, social, and cultural issues affecting Latinx and working class communities in the United States. Installed in the New Museum’s Second Floor galleries, the exhibition will focus on the elaborate, large-scale, multimedia environments that Osorio has been creating since the early 1990s, often developed through long-term conversations and collaborations with individuals in the neighborhoods where they were first shown. This exhibition will provide an opportunity to experience Pepón Osorio’s new and most iconic projects together for the first time, and demonstrate the distinctive ways in which he creates encompassing environments that illustrate personal stories and reveal crucial societal concerns. Taken from an eponymous work, the title of the exhibition addresses themes that resonate throughout Osorio’s practice, including the simultaneous resilience and fragility of human life, the values and desires that propel humanity, and the fundamental urgency to better care for one another. “Pepón Osorio: My Beating Heart/ Mi corazón latiente” is curated by Margot Norton, Chief Curator, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (former Allen and Lola Goldring Senior Curator at the New Museum), and Bernardo Mosqueira, ISLAA Curatorial Fellow. A fully illustrated catalogue published by the New Museum accompanies the exhibition and includes an interview with the artist by Norton and Mosqueira; a conversation between Osorio and Rita Indiana; and texts by Rob Blackson, Ramón Rivera-Servera, and Guadalupe Rosales.

Tuan Andrew Nguyen: Radiant Remembrance Through 09/17/23 Third Floor Developing projects through collaborative community engagement and extensive archival research, Tuan Andrew Nguyen (b. 1976, Saigon, Vietnam) utilizes strategies of remembrance to highlight unofficial and suppressed histories. Interweaving the factual and the speculative and often employing mythologies of otherworldly realms, Nguyen’s films re-work dominant narratives into stories that propose creative forms of healing the intergenerational traumas of colonialism, war, and displacement. Through his interest in animism and material memory, the affective and historical charge embedded into objects, Nguyen’s installations and sculptural practice coincide with and expand on the themes explored in his films. Installed in the New Museum’s Third Floor galleries, “Tuan Andrew Nguyen: Radiant Remembrance” is the artist’s first major U.S. solo museum exhibition, showcasing a new film, Because No One Living Will Listen (2023), and two recent video projects, The Unburied Sounds of a Troubled Horizon (2022) and The Specter of Ancestors Becoming (2019), alongside works from the artist’s broader practice. Drawing together conceptual threads from across the Global South via the interconnected histories of Vietnam, Senegal, Morocco, France, and the United States, “Radiant Remembrance” sparks a dialogue on inherited memory and testimony as forms of resistance and empowerment. “Tuan Andrew Nguyen: Radiant Remembrance” is curated by Vivian Crockett, Curator, with Ian Wallace, Curatorial Assistant, and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue published by the New Museum. The catalogue includes a conversation between the artist and Vivian Crockett and texts by Zoe Butt, Eungie Joo, Catherine Quan Damman, and Christopher Myers. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Toby Devan Lewis Emerging Artists Exhibitions Fund. Artist commissions are generously supported by the Neeson / Edlis Artist Commissions Fund.

Wynnie Mynerva: The Original Riot Through 09/17/23 Lobby Gallery For their first solo museum exhibition in the United States, Wynnie Mynerva will develop a site-specific installation for the Lobby Gallery. Through a gallery-spanning painting—the largest ever exhibited at the New Museum—alongside a sculptural element created from the artist’s own body, Mynerva will reimagine the Biblical origin story of Eve to envision and inspire gender expansive futures. Born in 1992 on the outskirts of Lima, Peru, Mynerva grew up in an environment rife with violence based on gender, sexuality, race, and social class. Responding to both their traumas and desires, Mynerva creates cathartic visions of revenge and emancipation—representations of a world in which sexual dissidence is praised as powerful political action. Their large-scale paintings depict bodies on the edge of abstraction that refuse to be categorized, consumed, or controlled; and their radical performances and body modifications posit sexual transgression as a path to social transformation. In this exhibition, Mynerva retells the foundational story of all Abrahamic religions, imagining the encounter between Eve and Lilith as “The Original Riot,” the first alliance between feminized bodies. The seventy-foot-long painting depicts a scene in which Eve gives Lilith her lowest rib bone, commonly called “Adam’s rib,” as a token of their pact against patriarchal power. Drawing on Mynerva’s practice of body modification, the artist will also create a sculptural element made from their own Adam’s rib which they have had surgically extracted for this purpose. With this counter-narrative to patriarchal traditions, Mynerva aims to inspire other feminized and queer bodies to fight collectively for pleasure and freedom. “Wynnie Mynerva: The Original Riot” is curated by Bernardo Mosqueira, ISLAA Curatorial Fellow.

Screens Series: Jamie Crewe Through 09/17/23 New Museum Theater This exhibition continues the New Museum’s Screens Series, a platform for the presentation of new video works by emerging contemporary artists. Combining video with drawing, text, and music, Jamie Crewe (b. 1987, Manchester, United Kingdom) produces dreamlike vignettes that weave together poetic retellings of Ancient Greek myths, Victorian literature, British horror stories, and queer histories. Rendered with intricate drawings bathed in saturated colored lights, or set in the craggy Scottish countryside, Crewe’s experiments with established narratives create new allegorical traditions that reflect upon contemporary questions of gender, desire, trans liberation, and the act of performing the self. Through the process of untethering conventional readings of time-honored tales, Crewe imbues source material with an almost magical power; in their retelling, these stories collapse into their own fictions and then are rebuilt. “I think of my interaction with genre as a kind of curdling,” says Crewe. “[There] is the milk, and then I add some acid to make it split, come apart, transform.” “Screens Series: Jamie Crewe” is curated by Madeline Weisburg, Curatorial Assistant. Jamie Crewe (b. 1987, Manchester, UK) lives and works in Glasgow, Scotland. Crewe has had solo exhibitions at LUX Moving Image, London (2020); Humber Street Gallery, Hull, UK (2020); Grand Union, Birmingham (2020); Pastoral Drama at Tramway, Glasgow (2018); Gasworks, London (2017); and Transmission, Glasgow (2016). Crewe’s work was included in British Art Show 9, Aberdeen, Wolverhampton, Manchester, and Plymouth, UK (2021–22); the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2019); and the KW Production Series at Julia Stoschek Collection, Berlin (2018). Crewe is the recipient of the EMAF Award for Groundbreaking Work in Media Art at the 35th European Media Arts Festival in Osnabrück, Germany, the Margaret Tait Award in 2019, a Turner Bursary in 2020, and was shortlisted for the Jarman Award in 2022. |

Mire Lee: Black Sun Through 09/17/23 Fourth Floor Installed in the New Museum’s Fourth Floor gallery, “Mire Lee: Black Sun” will debut a new site-specific installation featuring an architectural environment, kinetic sculpture and fabric works. Composed of materials that include low-tech motors, pumping systems, steel rods, and PVC hoses filled with grease, glycerin, silicone, slip, and oil, Lee’s animatronic sculptures operate both like living organisms and biological machines. Drawing references from architecture, horror, pornography, and cybernetics, and evoking bodily functions and environmental decay, Lee offers a visceral means to describe properties that exist between the realms of the technological and the corporeal. Titled after Julia Kristeva’s 1987 book Black Sun—a study of depression and melancholia—Lee’s installation is led by concerns of space, atmosphere, and materials including fabric, steel, and clay to suggest emotional voids and psychological tensions. In the past year, Lee has had institutional solo exhibitions at MMK Frankfurt and Kunstmuseum Den Haag, Netherlands, and has participated in major international exhibitions including the 59th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, the 58th Carnegie International, and Busan Biennial 2022. “Mire Lee: Black Sun” is curated by Gary Carrion-Murayari, Kraus Family Senior Curator, and Madeline Weisburg, Curatorial Assistant. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue published by the New Museum, including a conversation between the artist and Gary Carrion-Murayari as well as texts by Wong Binghao, Kim Eon Hee, Florentina Holzinger, and Madeline Weisburg. This exhibition is part of a three-year initiative, launched in collaboration with Kvadrat, to premiere ambitious new productions by emerging artists. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Toby Devan Lewis Emerging Artists Exhibitions Fund. Artist commissions are generously supported by the Neeson / Edlis Artist Commissions Fund.
