This event has ended.

NEW INC partners with Red Bull Studios New York to present several collaborative projects that have emerged from the program’s inaugural year. The projects creatively utilize new technologies to present investigations into new forms of visual and musical expression. Blurring disciplines, these hybrid, multimedia works demonstrate the potential for innovative thinking that emerges from nontraditional, cross-disciplinary forms of practice and the benefits of bringing them all together under one roof.

Participants include:
Emilie Baltz, Sougwen Chung, Erica Gorochow, NewHive, Nitzan Hermon, Yotam Mann, Odd Division, Lisa Park, Luisa Pereira, Phil Sierzega, The Principals, Print All Over Me, Kevin Siwoff, Paul Soulellis, Studio Studio, and Charlie Whitney.

Red Bull Studios New York is a multidisciplinary contemporary art project space that recently housed several distinguished exhibitions including “Alone Together” by Ryder Ripps and “Spaced Out: Migration to the Interior” curated by Phong Bui and the Brooklyn Rail Curatorial Projects. The Chelsea enclave, which features a state-of-the-art recording studio, a radio broadcast studio, a lecture hall, and performance space, supports cultural production across fine art, recorded music, and broadcast disciplines.

NEW INC is the latest in a series of programs developed by the New Museum to challenge the boundaries and expand the relevance of museum practice in the twenty-first century, foster creative cultural production, and reinforce the Bowery as a place of meaningful innovation. Creatives today are working in unique ways that are cross-disciplinary and collaborative, leveraging technology and increasingly straddling the line between culture and commerce. Because they are exploring new modes of cultural production, the professional landscape in which they work is still undefined, and few resources and systems exist to support these enterprises or to address the unique challenges they are encountering. NEW INC offers a lab-like environment and framework for the development of new ideas, practices, and models in the pursuit of innovation.

Over the course of twelve months, members have access to full-time and part-time coworking desk space, shared resources, events, and professional development programming, as well as a robust network of mentors and advisors that includes members of the New Museum’s staff and affiliates. NEW INC members also benefit from developing their ideas under the umbrella of the Museum, working in close proximity to Museum artists in residence, programs, and affiliates like IDEAS CITY and Rhizome, as well as anchor tenant Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) Studio-X.

A special incubator advisory board is chaired by New Museum Trustee David B. Heller. NEW INC’s Advisory Council provides guidance and lends expertise to this innovative Museum initiative and contributes mentorship support to its membership community.

Advisors include: Sunny Bates, CEO, Sunny Bates Associates; Lauren Cornell, New Museum Curator and Associate Director, Technology Initiatives; Kate Crawford, Principal Researcher, Microsoft Research and Visiting Professor at the MIT Center for Civic Media; Fred Dust, Partner, IDEO; David B. Heller, private investor and philanthropist (NEW INC Advisory Council Chair); Aaron Koblin, Cofounder and CTO of Vrse; John Maeda, Design Partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, former President of Rhode Island School of Design; Michael Phillips Moskowitz, Global Chief Curator, eBay Inc.; Neri Oxman, Sony Corporation Career Development Professor and Associate Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at the MIT Media Lab; Yancey Strickler, Cofounder & CEO, Kickstarter; Andrew Weissman, Partner, Union Square Ventures, and Cofounder, Betaworks; and Mark Wigley, Dean, Columbia University, Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation.

The incubator is located at 231 Bowery next door to the Museum’s SANAA-designed building, once home and studio to such artists as James Rosenquist and Tom Wesselmann. It offers eleven thousand square feet of shared workspace, informal gathering spaces, conference rooms, screening rooms, studio space, and other amenities.
