MoMA PS1 to Celebrate Its 50th Anniversary in 2026 with Sprawling 'Greater New York' Show
"Whereas in the past, the edition has sought outside curators to help organize the show, PS1 is looking closer to home this time around. The curatorial team of PS1 will conceive this edition of Greater New York, whose organizers include director Connie Butler, chief curator and director of curatorial affairs Ruba Katrib, and associate curators Jody Graf and Elena Ketelsen González. Also working on this edition are Kari Rittenbach, an assistant curator; Sheldon Gooch, a curatorial assistant; and Andrea Sánchez, curatorial coordinator."
""Each iteration of Greater New York is formed in relation to the artists of this city, offering a view into the practices, perspectives, and preoccupations that shape a moment," Katrib said in a statement to ARTnews. "Over the past year, our curatorial team has spent countless hours in studio visits across the five boroughs-an energizing process that has been full of conversations, discoveries, and close-looking.""
"A theme hasn't been announced yet for the show, which typically takes over the full museum. With more than 50 artists included, this Greater New York opens on April 16, 2026. Next year will mark a rare convergence in New York, whose three most notable biennial-style shows are all set to take place then. The Whitney Biennial is also opening in the spring, with the New Museum Triennial due to follow later on."
MoMA PS1 announced that its in-house curatorial team will conceive the 2026 edition of Greater New York rather than relying on outside organizers. The curatorial leadership includes Connie Butler, Ruba Katrib, Jody Graf, and Elena Ketelsen González, alongside Kari Rittenbach, Sheldon Gooch, and Andrea Sánchez. The curators conducted extensive studio visits across all five boroughs. No exhibition theme has been announced, and the show typically occupies the full museum. The exhibition will include more than 50 artists and opens on April 16, 2026. The timing coincides with major New York biennial-style exhibitions in the same year.
