Massimiliano Gioni, who has been artistic director of the New Museum since 2014, has been promoted to director by the New York institution.

\n\n\n\n

The Italian joined the museum in 2006 as curator, working his way up through the roles of associate director and director of exhibitions.

\n\n\n\n

Gioni remains the director of the Nicola Trussardi Foundation in Milan.

\n\n\n\n

Praising Gioni as a ‘visionary curator’ the president of the museum’s board said the decision came after ‘an extensive international search’.

\n\n\n\n

At the New Museum Gioni has given solo shows to John Akomfrah, Pawel Althamer, Ed Atkins, Lynda Benglis, Judy Chicago, Tacita Dean, Nicole Eisenman, Urs Fischer, Theaster Gates, Hans Haacke, Camille Henrot, Carsten Höller, Kahlil Joseph, Ragnar Kjartansson, Kapwani Kiwanga, Sarah Lucas, Gustav Metzger, Marta Minujin, Chris Ofili, Raymond Pettibon, Carol Rama, Faith Ringgold, Pipilotti Rist, Anri Sala, Peter Saul, Nari Ward, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, among others. His group exhibitions include After Nature (2008); Ostalgia (2011); Here and Elsewhere (2014); The Keeper (2016); Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in America (2021), an exhibition originally conceived by Okwui Enwezor and realized in collaboration with Naomi Beckwith, Glenn Ligon, and Mark Nash.
