To accompany the second New Museum Triennial (opening in February 2012), the
New Museum and ArtAsiaPacific are gathering information about international
art spaces. This research is the basis for an international Art Spaces
Directory to serve as a follow-up companion to the 2009 Artists Directory
published as part of the first New Museum Triennial, "Younger than Jesus."
This book will present 500 key art spaces as well as contextualizing essays.

Inspired by the publications Alternatives (2001), the second edition
Alternatives 2005: Contemporary Art Spaces in Asia (both conceived by Yasuko
Furuichi for the Japan Foundation), and the annual almanacs produced by
ArtAsiaPacific, the New Museum and ArtAsiaPacific look to create a database
of
key art spaces that develop exhibitions, discursivity, and community for
emerging artists. By focusing on arts organizations with innovative
programming, we hope to produce a useful directory for artists, arts
professionals, and patrons of the arts to support future activity in
contemporary art.

In order to organize and sort this information, participating organizations
are asked to self-present their program. Non-commercial, non-collecting
spaces
with regular public hours are invited to email
artspacesdirectory@newmuseum.org to request submission materials. Materials
must be received by Friday, August 5 for consideration.
