Works 1998-2008. The exhibition presents commissions and projects spanning the last decade, a highly productive period when their projects like The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa; the Glass Pavilion at the Toledo Museum of Art; and the new New Museum in New York won them considerable critical acclaim and public recognition.
The New Museum presents an exhibition of work by the highly regarded firm Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa / SANAA, designers of the institution's recently opened building on the Bowery.
The exhibition will present commissions and projects spanning the last decade, a highly productive period when their projects like The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa; the Glass Pavilion at the Toledo Museum of Art; and the new New Museum in New York won them considerable critical acclaim and public recognition.
"SANAA: Works 1998-2008," a collaboration between the New Museum's Lisa Phillips, Toby Devan Lewis Director and Karen Wong, Director of External Affairs, and SANAA, will also provide an opportunity to understand the new New Museum in the context of the firm's other work and practice. The exhibition will take the form of an environment rather than a traditional exhibition, exploiting and further exploring Sejima and Nishizawa's vision of the Museum lobby as, in their words, "a kind of constantly animated public-private living room where visitors can look, eat, read, shop, discover, and reflect among new art and new ideas."
On the occasion of “SANAA: Works 1998-2008,” the Museum will release SHIFT: SANAA and the New Museum, a book about the making of the New Museum’s building on the Bowery.
