New Museum Presents The First Major New York Solo Museum Exhibition by Mika Rottenberg
Employing absurdist satire to address critical issues of our time, Mika Rottenberg (b. 1976, Buenos Aires, Argentina) creates videos and installations that offer subversive allegories for contemporary life. Her works interweave documentary elements and fiction, and often feature protagonists who work in factory-like settings, manufacturing goods ranging from cultured pearls («NoNoseKnows», 2015) to the millions of brightly colored plastic wholesale items sold in Chinese superstores («Cosmic Generator», 2017). The New Museum presents Rottenberg’s first New York solo museum exhibition, «Easypieces», which premieres a new video installation, «Spaghetti Blockchain» (2019), alongside several of her recent video installations and kinetic sculptures.
Nari Ward:we The People
The exhibition features over thirty sculptures, paintings, videos, and large-scale installations from throughout Ward’s career, highlighting his status as one of the most important and influential sculptors working today. Since the early 1990s, Ward has produced his works by accumulating staggering amounts of humble materials and repurposing them in consistently surprising ways.
