No information other than the work’s title and date of production are expressly stated.
Uniquely, all content, context and meaning attributed to the works featured, is entirely provided by the public, in real time, as they muse on what they see and hear. As this program expands, a community of newly engaged visitors are invited to collaboratively take ownership of institutional meaning, resulting in an active feedback loop of continual viewer engagement, scholarship and lifelong learning.

Public Tours
“I met mark when they was giving a tour at the New Museum and since then, I still find myself thinking about the ideas discussed. The visit, facilitated by mark, has changed the way that I view how art museums can create a lasting impact on visitors. This tour helped me to experience a museum that can promote social awareness, show/explain equity, and bring forth conversations visually that many in our political climate struggle to verbally discuss.
