Don't tell anyone, but I still haven't stepped foot in the new New Museum space. Given it's 10 blocks away makes it even worse than it would be if I had the excuse of it being on the UES.

Finally, though, I'm going to the opening of After Nature tonight and will get to see the museum in all its glory, and, of course, give my two cents on what I think of the space and the collection.

"This summer the New Museum will present After Nature, on view from July 17 through September 21, 2008. Unfolding as a visual novel, the show depicts a future landscape of wilderness and ruins. It is a story of abandonment, regression, and rapture—an epic of humanity coming apart under the pressure of obscure forces and not-so-distant environmental disasters."

Artists included in the show: Allora and Calzadilla, Maurizio Cattelan, Roberto Cuoghi, Nancy Graves, Werner Herzog, Thomas Schutte, and Dana Schutz, among others.
