LONG ISLAND CITY, New York, December 16, 2019—Greater New York, MoMA PS1’s signature survey of artists living and working in the New York City area, returns for its fifth edition opening in fall 2020. Organized by a curatorial team led by Ruba Katrib, Curator, MoMA PS1 with writer and curator Serubiri Moses, in collaboration with Kate Fowle, Director, MoMA PS1 and Inés Katzenstein, Curator of Latin American Art and Director of Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Research Institute for the Study of Art from Latin America, The Museum of Modern Art, the exhibition will explore the resonance of international dialogues both within the city and in relation to considerations of diaspora, indigeneity, and citizenship. Presenting the work of intergenerational artists, Greater New York 2020 will question the broad assumptions of the term “greater” to examine the impact that dynamic networks of practitioners have had on New York’s cultural landscape.

“This team brings together a multiplicity of curatorial experience that is predicated on parsing notions of ‘local’ and ‘international'. Together, they can offer unique insights into how artists build affinities and harness the porous nature of the city,” said MoMA PS1 Director Kate Fowle. “As the only recurring survey to have charted the New York art scene since the turn of the millennium, Greater New York has influenced many discourses that have emerged out of PS1 this century. Thinking alongside artists who call this city home has become part of the institution’s DNA.”

Ruba Katrib is the Curator at MoMA PS1 in New York where she recently co-organized the group exhibition, Theater of Operations: The Gulf Wars 1991-2011. At MoMA PS1 she has also curated a retrospective of Simone Fattal (2019), and solo shows of Edgar Heap of Birds (2019), Karrabing Collective (2019), Fernando Palma Rodríguez (2018), and Julia Phillips (2018).
