Multiple Cooper Union alumni and adjunct faculty from the School of Art and The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture have been selected to exhibit work in Greater New York 2026, the sixth edition of MoMA PS1’s signature survey of artists living and working in the New York City area. School of Art alumni Devlin Claro (Resetar) A’17, Louis Osmosis (Chan) A’18, Nickola Alysia Pottinger A’08, and Kenneth Tam A’04 will have works in the show, as will Chong Gu, a 2020 School of Architecture graduate who is active with the collective Red Canary Song. Adjunct instructors Coco Klockner, fields Harrington, and Tari Masushio will also present work in the group show, which opens on April 16 and runs through August 17, 2026.

Forefronting the perspectives of early and mid-career artists, Greater New York 2026  emphasizes the forces that shape daily life in the city today, as well as strategies of resistance and adaptation in the face of increased surveillance, economic precarity, and shifting technologies. This iteration includes site-specific installations, new productions, and recent works, most of which have never before been exhibited.

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
