Prof. Poyen Wang has been chosen for the MoMA PS1’s Greater New York, their quinquennial focusing on the best of the NYC art scene.

Greater New York 2026, MoMA PS1, opens on April 16 and runs through August 17, 2026.

MoMA PS1’s signature survey of artists living and working in the New York City area returns for its sixth edition this spring, coinciding with MoMA PS1’s 50th anniversary. Spanning two floors of the museum, Greater New York 2026 brings into focus over 50 multidisciplinary artists in the formative years of their careers. This highly anticipated iteration will encompass site-specific commissions, new productions, and performances, alongside important recent works that address today’s most urgent cultural concerns. Organized for the first time by MoMA PS1’s full curatorial team, the exhibition emphasizes the forces that shape daily life in the city today, as well as strategies of resistance and adaptation in the face of increased surveillance, economic precarity, and shifting technologies.  Greater New York 2026 registers an optimism and anxiety generated through artists’ attention to the layered, lived textures of New York City.

Prof. Ricardo Miranda will be showing work at Graffiti U.S Immigration

Prof. Ricardo Miranda will show his work at:
Graffiti U.S. Immigration,
Sat., Feb. 14th
| 1-3PM
Storefront for Ideas, 172 Walker St, Chinatown, Manhattan

At the Storefront for Ideas, nine panels featuring U.S. Immigration acts dating back to the 1740 Parliament Plantation Act hang on a wall.  Amongst the selection of this country’s immigration acts are the 1798 Alien and Seditions Acts, a wartime law that has been resurrected by Trump, the 1868 14th Amendment protecting persons born or naturalized in the U.S. as citizens, the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act and the 2002 Homeland Security Act that established ICE.  Visitors are invited to graffiti all these acts at a time when the rule of law has been desecrated by federal officers by murdering citizens, separating families, forcibly taking law-abiding residents.  Paint, brushes, markers, food and drink will be available for this Valentine’s Day activity.
