Songs for Sabotage: New Museum 2018 Triennial

Description

In 2018, the New Museum in New York presents its fourth Triennial, the museum's signature survey of emerging artists from around the world. Curated by Gary Carrion-Murayari and Alex Gartenfeld, this edition of the much-anticipated exhibition -- and the fully illustrated catalogue that accompanies it -- features work by 27 artists from 19 countries, exploring a range of artistic practices. Though distinct in their approaches, these artists are connected by their deep engagement with their local context and a critical examination and embrace of the sense of internationalism that defines our time.

Gary Carrion-Murayari is a curator at the New Museum, where he has curated solo exhibitions for Phyllida Barlow, Ellen Gallagher, Haroon Mirza, Camille Henrot, and Jim Shaw, among others, and has co-curated exhibitions including "Ghosts in the Machine," "NYC 1993," "Here and Elsewhere," and "Chris Ofili: Night and Day." Murayari previously worked at the Whitney Museum of American Art, where he organized solo presentations of work by Elad Lassry and Karthik Pandian, and co-curated a number of group exhibitions. Carrion-Murayari was the co-curator, with Francesco Bonami, of the 2010 Whitney Biennial. Alex Gartenfeld is deputy director and chief curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami.
