Also interesting was the New Museum's involvement with the AIDS crisis in the 80's. The New Museum was one of the first art spaces to deal with HIV/AIDS with the exhibition, "Let the Record Show," curator by Bill Olander in 1987. This show helped bring about the artist collective Gran Fury. The collective created a window installation for the museum that included a neon sign that reads "Silence = Death," a popular Act Up slogan. The sign is currently exhibited in the New Museum's stairwell that leads to the theater.</p> Great post. Also interesting was the New Museum’s involvement with the AIDS crisis in the 80’s.
