Paul Ramirez Jonas at the New Museum

At the New Museum, Ramírez Jonas will continue to pursue a body of participatory work focusing on aspects of trust. His installation on the Fifth Floor includes two pieces defined by direct transactions between the audience and the artist, Fake ID(2017) and Alternative Facts (2017). The conditions of these encounters are devised by the artist and informed by the site, but also require the open-endedness of direct engagement with a voluntary public. The project also includes related public programs and, adjacent to the gallery, a Resource Center presentation that explores pseudonyms, identities, and modalities of naming employed by artists, writers, and other individuals for various political and creative reasons.
