The New Museum has announced that it will be opening its new SANAA-designed home on the Bowery on Saturday, December 1, 2007. The opening coincides with the museum's 30th anniversary and will be celebrated with 30 hours of continuous free admission to the museum, starting on the first.
In a July 26 press release (PDF link), it was also announced that the inaugural exhibition will be Unmonumental, "an international group show that proposes a dynamic, new exhibition model by beginning with a major sculpture exhibition then adding layers of collage, sound, and new media."

Calendar marked. Building as a scaleless stack of blocks. Without the silhouetted seated figure on the facade, I'd have thought this building far taller. It will be very interesting to see how the lack of scale cues plays out in reality.
