New Museum, Same Humans. “Memories Of The Future” on BSA

​Right on Time: New Museum, Same Humans. “Memories Of The Future” ​

​New Humans: Memories of the Future at the expanded New Museum, New York​

Steven P. Harrington

Right on time for a global stage display of man’s inhumanity to man, the New Museum reopens on the Bowery — two years after closing for an $82 million expansion that missed its 2025 target and landed in early spring 2026. Under longtime director Lisa Phillips, the institution returns much as it has always been: ambitious, fast-moving, and still unusual in one key way — it doesn’t collect art. It stages arguments.

From exhibitions and festivals to panels and classrooms—we’re there.

For nearly two decades, BSA has curated exhibitions, moderated panels, lectured, written, founded libraries, launched scholarships, MC’d events—and still found time to climb walls, slip fences, and drink cheap beer by the train tracks.
