Glottoplasty is the name of a medical process by which vocal cords are shortened, surgically altering their structure to emit a more highly pitched, or more feminine, sound. It is also the title of Coco Klockner's sound installation in Greater New York, which remains on view through September 7 in the show's extended partial view.
For the installation, Klockner cut the cones out of six speakers and inserted them into plastic storage drawers. The work incorporates excerpts from trans oral history archives around the country, alongside the artist's own voice and Foley sounds, all subjected to distortion, saturation, and modulation that results in a syncopated cacophony.
Experience "Glottoplasty" through Labor Day weekend at MoMA PS1: https://t.co/5J3JsIRhrI

Coco Klockner. "Glottyplasty," 2026. Modified plastic storage drawers, speaker drivers, amplifier, cables, plastic, inkjet print on paper, 6.1 channel audio (6 min., 13 sec.).
As a kid in Hartford, G. Rosa-Rey dug for worms, excavated rocks, and tried to peel the silver off the ones that looked like they had some inside. She made her tools out of sticks. She's been working with dirt ever since.
Her paintings are made from sand, earth, and pigment, worked over with hand-cut sticks, dental picks, and X-ACTO knives until the surface holds. Some of that sand she carried home from the sandbox of the New York public school where she used to teach. Underneath each one is a grid—the way property lines underlie land—and her marks come in and overrun it.
Her family left Puerto Rico for Connecticut during the Great Puerto Rican migration of the 1950s, and years later she titled her Greater New York series "Region in the Mind," after James Baldwin's text "Letter from a Region in My Mind." She made "Brown Earth" (2022–23) after visiting a cave in Loíza and watching the light come apart inside it.
See her work in the extended partial view of Greater New York through September 7.

This is not an elevator.
Kristin Walsh fabricates her sculptures from the same stock metals as the infrastructure they mirror: engines, carburetors, streetlights, turnstiles, each hand-buffed and sanded to a finish so perfect and reflective they read as solid cast objects.
"Indicator no. 9," a new work featured this year in Greater New York, takes the form of an elevator shaft appearing to sink into the floor. Hang back long enough and you'll see it come to life: pennies spinning slowly into a vortex, a matchstick skittering across the surface, puppeteered by magnets buried beneath. Experience it through September 7 as part of the survey's extended partial view on Floor 2.

Kristin Walsh (@digitinjury). "Indicator no. 9," 2026. Aluminum, brass, stainless steel, pennies, and electromechanics.
Meet Somnath Bhatt, the artist behind our Warm Up 2026 Stage Design.
The NYC-based artist synthesizes fragmented glyphs and digital glitches into new forms of spirited sonic notation. His stage design pays tribute to the seasonal cycle, adapting the colorful visual language of the temple procession and the prayer flag. The floating figures come from the 15th-century mystic Kabir, who sang of a god without form or name and wrote in an upside-down language where fish climb trees and the ocean catches fire.
Swipe to read Bhatt in conversation with Kari Rittenbach, Assistant Curator and an organizer of Warm Up 2026, for a conversation on ritual, poetic continuity, unknowing, and the multisensory influences that inform his practice.
I believe that the extension of food in a museum fortifies it as a cultural center, giving visitors a reason to return again and again. — @devonncharlesfrancis
This fall, acclaimed chef and culinary tastemaker DeVonn Francis opens a new café, Symone, at MoMA PS1. Symone features French-African cuisine and coastal flavors drawn from Francis's Jamaican and Caribbean roots: curry chicken salad sandwiches, patties, cod and rice porridge, and soft serve, plus a seasonal rotation of pastries and @lacabracoffee coffee.
Named for Francis's niece, Symone opens in early October. Take your first bites of select menu items at Printed Matter's NY Art Book Fair, September 24 to 27.
Uncanny live synthwork, baile funk, aqueous ambient IDM, breakbeat-heavy power electronics, all in one night. Take a peek behind the booth and meet the artists behind this week's Warm Up, Friday, Aug 21, 4–10 p.m.
Dopplereffekt
Detroit techno duo, active since 1995, whose synthwork "fetishizes science" and suggest abandoned futures. Their spare, metallic and eerie melodies explore the intersection of electronic music, technology, physics, and futurism.
RHR
São Paulo DJ and producer, raised on Brazilian rhythms and syncopation. His self-described percussive soundscapes run techno, bass, dancehall, electro and baile funk, chasing the stimuli of the city he works in.
Purelink
Chicago trio fusing speaker-knocking contemporary bass music, enveloping sub bass, the sway of dub, and the aqueous swirls and textural ambient scapes of classic chillout IDM, with post-rock elements throughout.
Eev Frances
Computer musician and DJ whose recorded work fuses glitchy IDM, humid ambient garage, and power electronics. As a live performer, her emotional, stochastic breakbeat-heavy sets have made her a staple of the Philadelphia electronic music scene.
Every week is a new world at Warm Up. Two Fridays left in the season. Grab your tickets before prices increase at the door: https://t.co/U7BZmne147

Rachel Handlin's "Scooter Shots" fixate on small slivers of the city reflected in the side-view mirror of parked scooters. Storefronts, traffic, lush trees, sky, the artist herself, and whoever happened to be standing there, all gather in a frame the size of a palm. The series began with a single photograph along the Seine, taken when she was still in high school, and became a study across years of looking.
Six pigment prints—each containing a sliver of a city that only exists at that angle, in that glass, for that moment—will be on view in one of the select galleries of Greater New York that remain on view through September 7. As we prepare for fall exhibitions, experience work by Handlin on your next visit to MoMA PS1.

Greater New York only comes around every 5 years—and you just have until 6 p.m. TOMORROW to see it all for yourself before it closes.
Swipe through and explore some of the works on view, in the show that contains 150+ artworks made by artists living and working in the city right now.
Call out of work (or work from our terrace 👀), or do whatever you have to do to get over here. Admission is free for all.

Coumba Samba works with subjects including global trade, national identity, family, and home, distilling their complexity into flat, orderly bands of color. She subjects the charged hues to a kind of chromatography test.
Samba’s installation in Greater New York (closing this Monday) features a tripartite sculpture comprised of three sheets of tall plywood, painted in red, black, and green. Together, and in this order, they invoke the Pan-African flag, created in 1920, which evokes shared pride across the African diaspora. Samba's work suggests the fragile, perhaps necessary idealism of these symbols, and the collective psychic investment that enables them to organize our world.

Coumba Samba (@savecoumba). "Panels (red) (black) (green)." 2025. Wood and metal paint.

No camera was used in the making of this photograph.
Hardy Hill draws his figures by hand onto film, lays the film against light-sensitive paper, and exposes it to the light. What emerges is a photograph never seen through a viewfinder. Sixteen men crowd a black field, propped up by ladders, tables, and bare bulbs, but no one was ever there.
"16 Figures Facing Forward," Hill's largest print to date, is on view in Greater New York, which closes this Monday, August 17.

Hardy Hill. "16 Figures Facing Forward," 2026. Contact print from handmade negative on fiber paper. 53" x 70".
Summer's almost over, and there are only three chances left to check out Warm Up. This week's lineup spans Detroit house and experimental cello to gadgicore. Grab your tickets now to catch four artists at the far edges of club and experimental sound, right here in our courtyard: https://t.co/fg28TJsJIH
Marcellus Pittman
A Detroit house pioneer who grew up on Electrifying Mojo and Jeff Mills, Marcellus Pittman has spent three decades blending machine funk, house, classic soul, and disco, returning to the series for the first time since 2013.
MOESHA 13
Marseille-based DJ, producer, and vocalist whose self-named style, GADGICORE, braids Jersey club, breakcore, Kongo tekno, mutant dembow, and francophone hip-hop.
Mabe Fratti
Mexico City-based experimental cellist and composer bends voice, synthesizers, and cello, presenting sound in the form of installation and free association, pulling from shoegaze and dream pop while reaching back into ancestral channels of influence from Gregorian chant and Sephardic music.
Lary 7
An experimental-underground fixture whose sets run on improbable gadgets he builds from cast-off materials. He played the first Warm Up in 1998 and comes back this season for PS1's 50th anniversary celebrations.
There's less than one week left to experience Greater New York, and there's perhaps no greater way to see the exhibition than through a dummy’s eyes.
Ventriloquist Sophie Becker and her dummy, Ronnie Woods, catch one last glimpse of the galleries, which feature 53 artists and collectives who live and work in New York City.
See the exhibition for yourself, before it closes on Monday, August 17.

Associate Curator Jody Graf, an organizer of Greater New York 2026, gives us a glimpse of PS1 usually off limits.
For the video installation "Hail Mary," artist Marie Angeletti placed a sequence of gilded aluminum plates on the floor of the museum's attic, a space closed to the public. A camera trained on the plates broadcasts a continuous live stream to a monitor in the galleries. It captures the light shifting throughout the day as it reflects off the metal. Depending on the time of day that you catch it, the work will look drastically different.
There's less than one week left to experience this work in Greater New York, on view through August 17.

Marie Angeletti (@angelikana_13). "Hail Mary," 2026.
Covey Gong walked into the Met, surreptitiously scanned a 5,000-year-old sculpture, and made his own.
The artist, drawn to the statue through its ties to global trade, 3D-scanned the Colossal Statue of Min, a monument to one of the earliest represented Egyptian deities, carved around 3300 BCE. Within Gong's own sculpture "New Angel II" is an embedded video of the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows Corona Park—another relic of globalization.
This is the final week to see Gong's sculptures in Greater New York, which closes Monday, August 17.

Covey Gong. "New Angel I," 2026. Copper, sodium sulfide, copper blackener, wax, aluminum, and stainless steel.

Ian Miyamura's "saturation exercise" brings together seven pairs of "fraternal paintings": abutting panels of nongestural, flat color that appear perfectly doubled, until you look again.
The treatment recalls modernist geometric abstraction such as de Stijl, or the squares on a chessboard. The subtle gradation in color between pairs shifts the overall value, lightness or darkness, and creates a sequential crescendo, or decay, in surface color.
Take a closer look and do it soon: Greater New York closes on Aug 17.

In 1976, artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha began filming "White Dust from Mongolia" in Seoul. When she was killed near her SoHo home in 1982, the footage was left unedited.
In 2017, artist Cici Wu began mining Cha's archive and has spent nearly a decade investigating it. Rather than attempting to complete "White Dust," Wu created a new installation of flickering projections and rice-paper light sculptures that meditates on the material Cha left behind, in close collaboration with the artist's estate.
Experience this luminous installation in the final weeks of Greater New York, on view through August 17.

Cici Wu. "Upon Leaving the White Dust (go go she and not come back said go and don’t come back)," 2018/2025. Ink, rice paper, bamboo wire, wheat glue, handmade glass, LED lights, electronics, 16mm transferred to HD video (b/w, no sound), video (light data collected from the screening of unfinished film footage "White Dust from Mongolia" by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, 1980).

This Friday, Warm Up brings global bass, hard drum, and ethereal sounds to the stage. Grab your tickets now to experience four artists tracing the outer edges of the global underground right in our courtyard: https://t.co/yvweQ49LER
BADSISTA
The São Paulo DJ and producer fuses house, bass, and baile funk into a global sound born in Brazil's peripheries. His debut album Gueto Elegance is the stage at the center of the whole world he built from the ground up.
TOCCORORO
The high-energy Cuban-Spanish DJ and curator runs guaracha into raptor house into aleteo into hardstyle. A standout of Spain's queer club scene and far, far beyond.
Toxe
The Gothenburg producer and DJ bends hard drums and unusual melodies into a brightly frenetic, potent sound that has led her to produce runway soundtracks for fashion houses Acne, Burberry, and Dior.
nguyendowsXP
The shapeshifting NYC producer and DJ slips between a gauzy, ethereal expanse and frenetic, kinetic shrapnel. A member of Saigon's Nhạc Gãy collective.

The #1 mirror-selfie spot in Greater New York 🤳
Win McCarthy's "Pan-psychic All Seers" mounts convex security mirrors, like those that flank bodega aisles or subway underpasses, to photographic light stands. The resulting work considers how visibility shapes everyday life in New York City, revealing the ways surveillance and image-making are intertwined.
Experience the work in the final weeks of Greater New York, on view through August 17.
