Organized by the Department of Education and Public Engagement, the New Museum Spring 2016 R&D Season:LEGACY will explore the ways and means by which our connections to the past are actively produced, evaluated, maintained, reproduced, and refuted. Operating across various presentational and pedagogical formats, the Season will include new projects by three artists: Cheryl Donegan, Beatriz Santiago Muñoz, and Michael Kliën (in collaboration with the Martha Graham Dance Company). Here, LEGACY and its constructs will be considered with respect to fashion, the readymade, utopian communities, institutional histories, and social choreographies.
