CANYON
200 Broome Street
New York, NY 10002
Opening 2026
Time-based media seems poised for a breakthrough, with New York City set to gain 18,000 square feet of gallery space dedicated to state-of-the-art presentation of video art in 2026 when CANYON opens on the Lower East Side.
Spearheaded by the Mass MOCA team of founding former director Joe Thompson and philanthropist Robert Rosenkranz, CANYON has big ambitions for a new hybrid museum, performing-arts-venue, and nightlife destination, as it repurposes 40,000 feet of vacant commercial space anchored by video art.
We celebrate CANYON’s commitment to video art. Wallach Art Gallery’s exhibition Homage: Queer lineages on video gathers time-based works from seven contemporary artists, Dineo Seshee Bopape, Tony Cokes, Carolyn Lazard, Kang Seung Lee, P. Staff, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.
Curated by Rattanamol Singh Johal, the exhibition presents works that pay tribute to significant cultural figures and resonant histories. All the works in the exhibition are drawn from Akeroyd Collection, the time-based media facet of the Shane Akeroyd Art Collection.
