LONG ISLAND CITY, New York, April 2, 2026—MoMA PS1 presents Greater New York 2026, the sixth edition of the museum’s signature survey of artists living and working in the New York City area, featuring 53 artists and collectives. Opening on April 16, 2026, this iteration spans the entirety of the building and features over 150 works, including site-specific installations, new productions, performances and recent works, most of which have never before been exhibited. The exhibition includes a range of media from painting and photography to animation and scenography, as well as a performance program premiering works by eight artists over three dates in May and June. In celebration of the museum’s 50th anniversary, the quinquennial exhibition is organized for the first time by the full MoMA PS1 curatorial team. Forefronting the perspectives of early and mid-career artists, Greater New York 2026 emphasizes the forces that shape daily life in the city today, as well as strategies of resistance and adaptation in the face of increased surveillance, accelerating technologies, and system breakdown.
Greater New York 2026 is organized by the MoMA PS1 curatorial team: Jody Graf and Elena Ketelsen González, Associate Curators; Kari Rittenbach, Assistant Curator; Sheldon Gooch, Curatorial Assistant; and Andrea Sánchez, Curatorial Coordinator; led by Connie Butler, Agnes Gund Director, and Ruba Katrib, Chief Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs.
