New Museum, New Artist Residents<\/p>\n

Yun Choi, Alison Kuo, and Korakrit Arunanondchai will take up residence in the New Museum’s Artist Studio, a dedicated space carved out by the polarizing OMA-designed expansion<\/a> of the building. In an announcement today, May 7, the Lower East Side museum said the artists will participate in a series of residences at the 730-square-foot studio beginning this spring and continuing through winter 2027. They’ll create new work and develop onsite exhibitions and public programs in a model reminiscent of MASS MoCA<\/a> or Pioneer Works<\/a>‘s in-house residencies; Kuo, for instance, will produce a new performance piece informed by Cantonese Opera culture, complete with sets and costumes, to debut later this fall.<\/p>\n

2026 Forge Project Fellows<\/p>\n

Forge Project, the Native-led nonprofit dedicated to Indigenous arts leadership, located in\u00a0Taghkanic\u00a0in\u00a0New York’s Hudson Valley, has named the recipients of its 2026 fellowship.

What Else Happened?\"\"Portrait of Robert Therrien, 1993 (photo Leo Holub, courtesy David Zwirner)David Zwirner Gallery now represents the estate of Robert Therrien, taking over from Gagosian after three decades. The news closely follows a major exhibition at the Broad that featured the artist’s best-known works, oversized domestic objects that, as Matt Stromberg wrote for Hyperallergic<\/a>, \u201ctower over the viewer with a mix of cartoon absurdity and potential disaster.\u201dLaurel Nakadate has been awarded the Maud Morgan Prize from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.The Asian American Arts Alliance selected\u00a0Clare Hu as the 2026 Van Lier Fellow for Visual Arts Practice,\u00a0Jolene Fernandez\u00a0as the Van Lier Fellow for Visual Arts Curation, and Nikaio Thomashow\u00a0as the Jadin Wong Fellow.Jill Magid\u00a0is now represented by Olney Gleason.The Santa Barbara Museum of Art appointed Briana H.

It may feel like we’ve just docked our gondolas, but Frieze New York is already on the horizon. The fair opens in just under a week<\/a>, and this year’s edition will kick off in style with a new staff uniform by Japanese artist Reika Takebayashi. Lucky art fair employees (never thought I’d type those words in my life) will get to don the t-shirt, printed with the artist’s luscious 2025 painting of a wild, pink-hued jungle. Hyperallergic Associate Editor Lisa Yin Zhang, who once had to work the fair in her previous role at Frieze, told me via Slack: \u201cMad af bc they literally made me be one of those gallery assistants during the fair while i was assistant editor and it was just a plain black shirt.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Community Plus, Forge Project’s 2026 fellows, the Robert Therrien Estate leaves Gagosian for Zwirner, and this year’s Frieze…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":630168,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[228,226,227,229,88],"class_list":["post-630167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=630167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630167\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/630168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=630167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=630167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=630167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
