ATRIUM STAIR: KLÁRA HOSNEDLOVÁ-SHELTER

@NEW MUSEUM 21 MAR, 2026 - ONGOING The site-specific installation by Klára Hosnedlová (b. 1990, Uherské Hradiště, Czech Republic) commissioned for the Museum’s new Atrium Stair is the artist’s first museum project in the United States. Made possible by a continuing collaboration between the New Museum and Danish textile company Kvadrat to support ambitious new productions by emerging artists, Hosnedlová’s new work reflects her ongoing interest in intersecting questions around labor, gender, and historical memory. Her sandstone and glass sculpture will be surrounded by a pelt-like form created from a flax-based textile and will feature the artist’s signature intricate embroideries. The work will be viewable on the Atrium Stair and surrounding landings from the Museum’s Lobby up to the Fourth Floor. Discover more

NEVER THE SAME RIVER @FORD FOUNDATION, NY 12 AUG, 2026 - 05 DEC, 2026 Never The Same River, explores themes of bodily autonomy and human migration. The exhibition’s title draws on the famous remark attributed to ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus that “No man ever steps in the same river twice.” This idea captures the show’s meditation on change and impermanence: just as rivers flow and bodies evolve, so too do our identities, perceptions, and environments. The river becomes a metaphor for transformation, an ever-shifting current that reflects the complexity of human experience and the impossibility of returning to a fixed state.  Discover more

In Brooklyn

HOMEROOM: ARTISTS AGAINST THE BOMB @MOMA PS1 10 SEPT, 2026 - 08 FEB, 2027

Artists Against the Bomb (AATB), an international artistic campaign supporting the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), will present an exhibition in Homeroom. Rooted in an urgent belief that meaningful change arises through collective action and public refusal, instead of solutions from the top, AATB’s calls to action span posters, design, film, photography, literature, music, sculpture, and ephemera in support of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), which has been endorsed by a growing number of countries. Organized by Estudio Pedro Reyes and ICAN, recipient of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize for developing the TPNW, the presentation in Homeroom will highlight worldwide contributions by artists with ties to MoMA PS1—including Regina José Galindo, Nani Chacón, Carlos Amorales, Frieda Toranzo Jaeger, Art & Language, and Laura Anderson Barbata—alongside newly commissioned works.

CAPRICE IN MOTION - DORIT LEVINSTEIN @PARK AVENUE MEDIANS APRIL 2024 - MAY 2027 The exhibition introduces elements of movement, color, and form to the urban landscape. Levinstein’s sculptures present a distinctive visual vocabulary of figures and shapes, characterized by fluid lines and an elastic quality that defines their presence in space. Rendered in a wide spectrum of colors and drawing on subjects that range from human figures and animals to flowers and everyday objects, her work comprises a varied and notable body of sculpture.
