The New Museum of New York City has re-opened in a brand new building, designed by Japanese architects Sejima and Nishizawa/Sanaa.This incredible lifting was meant to coincide and celebrate its 30th anniversary. Now the Museum is a modern and dynamic building which perfectly fits its contemporary art and avant-garde's image.
Marcia Tucker ( a contemporary art curator, lecturer, visiting artist, public speaker, writer, arts administrator, and comedian and much more...) created this museum in 1977 fullfilling an alternative position compared with the existing museums of the time. It remains an innovative space for alternative artists. The museum displays 7 floors and among those, 3 are dedicated to exhibitions, but there is also an education centre, a theatre and on the roof : a terrace. This building is definitely the symbol of the area it is in : The Lower East Side, close enough to China Town, still relatively far from the major galleries and art market important places.
Definitely a place to discover anyway.
