We are so proud to see our former Marilyn and Larry Fields Curator Naomi Beckwith appointed to curate Documenta 16!

This honor follows a long line of achievements for Beckwith, including curating the MCA major exhibitions "Howardena Pindell: What Remains To Be Seen," and "Nick Cave: Forothermore." Please join us in congratulating her!

She is the second American-born curator ever to curate Documenta in the exhibition's 69-year history. artnews.com/art-news/news/…

Happy 65th birthday, Guggenheim! 🎉✨ On October 21, 1959, the museum opened its doors, with thousands flocking to Fifth Avenue. The film “Buildings & Crowd” captured the buzz as visitors experienced the iconic space and works by Arp, Brancusi, Chagall, Kandinsky, and more. 🌀🖼️ #Guggenheim65

Our DNA Research Initiative, a multi-year curatorial program supported by the @CHANEL Culture Fund and led by Yana Peel, CHANEL's global head of Arts and Culture, is mentioned in @wwd.

The MCA DNA Research Initiative, led by Jamillah James, MCA Senior Curator, and Nolan Jimbo, MCA Assistant Curator, focuses on the intersection of visual art and performance while surfacing overlooked art historical narratives within the organization’s history. This initiative foregrounds the cross-disciplinary ethos that has been integral to the museum since its founding.
