CITY Issue 52 - (Page 14) 14 A C T I N CI T Y ART: NEW MUSEUM New is the New New When architecture firm SANAA broke ground for the new New Museum for Contemporary Art in downtown New York, both sound artist Laurie Anderson and a shinto priest were on hand for the occasion. A few years later, the long-awaited project is finally set to open Dec. 1 on the Bowery, a sleek stacked-matchbox building rising up above the historically gritty boulevard below. “The Bowery has changed so much since we first went there,” say firm founders Kazuyo Sejima and Riyue Nishizawa of the setting for the Tokyo firm’s first big New York City project. “The museum isn’t trying to clean up the roughness of the street,” the architects say, although they admit that this one “may be rougher than our buildings in Japan.” A thrill, then, that fans of the architects, including their peers (that most critical of cadres), can finally see the pair’s particular brand of quiet minimalism up close and personal. Is sleek understament the future of downtown Manhattan? “The forces of change are stronger than just one building,” Sejima and Nishizawa say, but though it may be true that it’ll take more than one subtle building to get us away from big-box condos and starchitects-for-sale, they’re off to a hell of a start. —EVA HAGBERG 235 Bowery at Prince St., New York.
