Greater New York 2021

A sourcebook, reader and document of the MoMA PS1 exhibition gathering an intergenerational and international group of 47 artists and collectives with deep ties to New York

Through images, artist writings, roundtable conversations and oral histories highlighting key artists from the fifth edition of Greater New York at MoMA PS1, this book expands core themes in the exhibition, such as the interrelation of the surrealistic and the documentary; New York as site of Indigenous and diasporic cultural production; and the everyday challenges of living as an artist in a rapidly changing city. Central to the book is a wide selection of primary source materials: writings, poetry, notes, sketches and scripts by exhibition artists–offering, in their own words, a window into their interdisciplinary processes and approaches. Artists include: Yuji Agematsu, Nadia Ayari, BlackMass Publishing, Diane Burns, Kristi Cavataro, Curtis Cuffie, Hadi Fallahpisheh, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Raque Ford, Luis Frangella, Dolores Furtado, Julio Galan, Doreen Garner, Emilie Louise Gossiaux, Robin Graubard, Milford Graves, Bettina Grossman, Avijit Halder, Bill Hayden, Steffani Jemison, G.
