In 2016, the New Museum inaugurated a platform for the presentation of new video works by emerging contemporary artists titled Screens Series. Encompassing a combination of screenings in the New Museum theater and on monitors on the Lower Level, the series has presented artists working with a range of media—from 16mm film to computer-generated imagery (CGI). When the Museum closed in March 2020 due to heightened concerns around the spread of COVID-19, we featured selected videos by Screens Series artists online, bringing art to the public at home. We have expanded the series to include other single-channel videos by artists who have exhibited at the New Museum over the past few years and in current exhibitions.
