Stage is a participatory installation and sound work that draws on the history of the microphone as a tool for protest and public oratory, while recalling the metonymic references to microphones in hip-hop lyrics from the 1980s to the present.
Greater New York, MoMA PS1’s signature survey of artists living and working in the New York City area, returns for its fifth edition. Delayed one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this iteration offers an intimate portrayal of New York City, forging connections between often under-examined histories of art-making in the city.
(Never) As I Was marks the third year of the multiyear partnership between The Studio Museum in Harlem, The Museum of Modern Art, and MoMA PS1, featuring new work by the 2020–21 artist in residence cohort: Widline Cadet (b. 1992, Pétion-Ville, Haiti), Texas Isaiah (b. Brooklyn, NY), Genesis Jerez (b. 1993, Bronx, NY), and Jacolby Satterwhite (b. 1986, Columbia, South Carolina).
Slow Factory transforms Homeroom into a site of collective learning and co-creation at the intersection of climate justice, social equity, and regenerative design through their evolving presentation, The Revolution is a School. The presentation features video, printed ephemera, installation, and a workshop series, all of which invite interaction and collaboration from visitors.
MoMA PS1 hosted ongoing collaborator Visual AIDS, as they presented their annual project LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN with Dieu Donné, Fire Island Artist Residency, Positive Women’s Network, and the Well Project. The project featured hundreds of heartfelt valentine cards on handmade paper created by an intersecting group of artists, activists, and HIV positive women.
After the activation, the valentines were mailed around the world to HIV-positive women in time for Valentine’s Day. Women living with HIV often experience isolation and stigma and face specific challenges around relationships, motherhood, and healthcare. Since 2015, the project has distributed over 3,000 cards in order to fight stigma, create community, and empower women living with HIV.
