New Museum Announces International Triennial for Emerging Artists

As followers of the official UnBeige Twitter feed learned only minutes after it was announced at a press briefing this morning, New York’s New Museum is launching a major international triennial for emerging artists. Opening next spring, the triennial’s first incarnation will be called “Younger Than Jesus,” a title inspired by the many enduring changes in art and history wrought by young people. The exhibition will occupy the entire New Museum, the mesh-skinned stack of blocks on the Bowery designed by Tokyo-based architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa/SANAA.

“This will be the first recurring international exhibition in New York City devoted to emerging artists around the world,” said New Museum director Lisa Phillips at today’s press briefing.
