These Are the Artists in the 2027 New Museum Triennial
The show will feature 36 artists and collectives representing 34 nations, making it the most internationally focused edition to date.
The New Museum in Manhattan will reopen its sixth triennial for emerging artists on February 4, 2027, after a five-year hiatus. Titled "The Outside Expands," this edition will showcase 36 artists and collectives from 34 different nations, marking the most globally oriented iteration thus far. The complete roster of participants is provided at the conclusion of this article.
Co-curated by Vivian Crockett, the New Museum's curator, and Isabella Rjeille, a curator at Brazil's Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (MASP), the exhibition draws inspiration from the 1979 urban intervention "X Galeria (X Gallery)" by the Brazilian collective 3NÓS3. During Brazil's 20-year civil-military dictatorship, 3NÓS3 covered gallery entrances with X-shaped duct tape, accompanied by the message "What is inside remains, what is outside expands," urging artists to transcend institutional confines.
