Walkthrough of “Greater New York 2026” at MoMA PS1

AAAinA is pleased to announce a guided walkthrough of the Greater New York 2026 exhibition at MoMA PS1 on Thursday, July 16th at 4pm. The tour will be led by members of the museum’s curatorial team, accompanied by three participating artists, Akira Ikezoe, Kenneth Tam, and Cici Wu.

Greater New York 2026 is the sixth edition of MoMA PS1’s signature survey show that focuses exclusively on artists living and working in New York City. We are especially thrilled to host this collaborative event, as several of the featured artists are long-time collaborators and previous participants in AAAinA programs.

Artist bios:

Akira Ikezoe (b. 1979) is a New York-based artist born in Kochi, Japan. Ikezoe creates works in diverse disciplines, including drawing, painting, video and performance, in relation to the balance between the forces we think of as outside or before ourselves, and the “civilizing” of ourselves. In Ikezoe’s works, which often take explanatory forms such as specimen, chart, diagrams and storytelling, his manipulation of visual vocabularies is woven into a metaphysical and mythological context that depicts a timeless melting point between human and natural boundaries.

Kenneth Tam is a visual artist based in Houston, TX and Queens, NY. He received his B.F.A. from Cooper Union. His work spans multiple mediums including video, sculpture, installation, movement and performance. Tam’s practice often foregrounds the male body, using humor and pathos to reveal the performative and unstable nature of identity, and creates situations that highlight vulnerability within unlikely settings. Tam is a recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 2026.

Cici Wu is a New York based artist who was born in Beijing and grew up in Hong Kong. Reducing filmmaking to its most humble and elemental components, she creates drawings, objects, videos, and installations which extend the imaginative and structural premises of cinematic language across a wide range of media. Often taking local microhistories or archives as a point of departure, she uses the cinematic frame as a means to negotiate and reflect on the ways in which transpersonal narratives of social, cultural and historical belonging structure our experiences of self.

Light refreshments will be provided.
