”This spring, MoMA PS1 presents The Gatherers, a major exhibition that brings into focus current artistic practices mining the ruins of excess production, failing infrastructure, and political instability. Opening on April 24, 2025, the presentation spans the entirety of the Museum’s third-floor galleries and features over a dozen international artists—many exhibiting for the first time in a US museum—and includes sculptural installation, assemblage, painting, video, and performance. Revealing and retooling detritus and ideas that have emerged out of the geopolitics of the last thirty years, the works surface histories embedded in discarded materials and imbued with new meaning. While rummaging has served as a critical artistic methodology for decades, the exhibition underscores the concerns of a generation of artists who are grappling with the impacts of recent world orders, such as the fallouts from globalization and neoliberalism. Artists in The Gatherers make visible the spatialized politics of memory as constructed within the built environment, drawing attention to how histories reverberate into the future.” MoMAPS1 Website
