I\u2019ve always wanted to be in the room for Hyperallergic\u2019s critics\u2019 discussions. What kept coming up for me is that the New Museum is trying to be the little sister of MoMA, and that is the last thing it should aspire to. I agree with the comments about past wars and the lack of focus on where we are now [&#8230;] We know from this publication alone that there is so much new art emerging from both tragedies and new technologies that I would like to see and learn from. That is what a \u201cNew Museum\u201d should be all about. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<h2 id=\"from-the-archive\">From the Archive <\/h2>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hyperallergic.com\/content\/images\/2026\/03\/image-77-1.png\" class=\"kg-image\" alt loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1371\" height=\"771\"><figcaption><span>Edvard Munch, \u201cCrouching Nude\u201d (1917-1919) (courtesy Munchmuseet)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"the-melancholy-marriage-of-tracey-emin-and-edvard-munch\">The Melancholy Marriage of Tracey Emin and Edvard Munch<\/h3>\n<p>What do Emin and Munch have in common other than a burning desire to embrace, and be defined by, the miseries of life? | Michael Glover <\/p>\n<hr>\n<ul class=\"post-tags\">\n<li>\n                        Daily Newsletter\n                      <\/li>\n<li>\n                        Newsletter\n                      <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<article class=\"gh-card post\">\n<figure class=\"gh-card-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hyperallergic.com\/content\/images\/size\/w600\/2026\/03\/roselynnsstudiohyperallergic-1-.JPG\" alt=\"NYU Steinhardt Presents 2026 MFA Thesis Exhibitions\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"gh-card-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"gh-card-title is-title\">NYU Steinhardt Presents 2026 MFA Thesis Exhibitions<\/h3>\n<p class=\"gh-card-excerpt is-body\">Part I: April 1\u201318, Part II: May 6\u201323.
