The fifth edition, opening in October, has announced its participating artists
New York’s New Museum has announced participating artists for the fifth edition of the New Museum Triennial. The exhibition, titled ‘Soft Water Hard Stone’, will run from 27 October 2021 to 23 January 2022. The show is co-curated by Margot Norton and Jamillah James.
The exhibition title is derived from a Brazilian proverb: Água mole em pedra dura, tanto bate até que fura (Soft water on hard stone hits until it bores a hole). ‘The title speaks to ideas of resilience and perseverance, and the impact that an insistent yet discrete gesture can have in time,’ the organisers said in a statement.
‘It also provides a metaphor for resistance, as water – a constantly flowing and often underestimated material – is capable of eventually dissolving stone – a substance associated with permanence, but also composed of tiny particles that can collapse under pressure.’
