After Nature & Younger Than Jesus @New Museum

Nish / 15 Jul. '08

After Nature, a group show covering three floors at the New Museum on Bowery, opens to the public on Thursday, July 17th. The show is described as as "a hallucinated panorama of a world on the verge of disappearance." One would not have thought an exhibit on environmental ruin could be so fun... I particularly liked Maurizio Cattelan's headless horse (above), Zoe Leonard's barren tree, Berilinde De Bruyckere's rotting body and Eugene Von Buenchenhein's colorful explosions.

Coming to the New Museum in October is a survey of Elizabeth Payton's work and a retrospective of Mary Heilmann.

In exciting news for the Artlog artist community, in the Spring of 2009, the New Museum will host an international triennial for emerging artists entitled "Younger than Jesus."
