Since first bursting onto the scene in the early 1980s with his unique adaptation of the language of old-master painting, George Condo has created one of the most adventurous, imaginative, and provocative bodies of work in contemporary art. Included in the exhibition is a dramatic installation of more than fifty portraits depicting invented characters that often assimilate and appropriate elements from masterpieces by the greatest Western artists of the past 500 years, from Diego Velázquez to Pablo Picasso to Arshile Gorky.

Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP) will be conducting the New Museum’s Professional Development for Teachers on November 2.  Included in the current exhibition “The Last Newspaper,” Brooklyn-based CUP is a nonprofit organization that uses art, design, and visual culture to improve public participation in urban planning and community design, particularly among historically underrepresented communities.  CUP believes in the legibility of the world around us.  What can we learn by investigation?  By learning how to investigate, we train ourselves to change what we see.

Janine Antoni is known for the use of her body in the creation of performance-based sculptures. By presenting her body in relationship to unusual mediums and extreme processes, Antoni engages her cultural definition, specifically through gender and identity. Although her process draws from the banal activities of the everyday—sleeping, eating, bathing—Antoni’s main focus when creating art is on the work’s relation to the viewer through its physicality. In her most recent work, Antoni explores her role as a mother, and the concept of “home” as it relates to the body’s interior.

Professional Development for Teachers aims to supplement high school teachers' knowledge of contemporary art practices and issues through directed lectures, participatory workshops, and object-based learning. Morning seminar presented by Lisa Phillips, Toby Devan Lewis Director, New Museum RSVP now!

The New Museum's new signature Triennial features 50 artists under the age of 33 from 25 countries! The exhibition was inspired by the fact that young people have made some of the most influential and enduring gestures in art and history in the early stages of their lives. All five floors of the New Museum are dedicated to these young artists' works, ranging from new media technology and performance to sculpture and painting. This provocative exhibition has over 100 works representing the artistic practices of this generation. An artist featured in the exhibition will conduct a dynamic presentation about his or her practice in the morning seminar.

Lauren Cornell, Executive Director of Rhizome and Adjunct Curator of the New Museum, will outline the history of Internet and new-media art, and touch upon some of the more significant practices and artists working in the field today. "RSVP here":http://app.formassembly.com/forms/view/24198
