New Museum's 'Trigger: Gender as a Tool and a Weapon' Exhibition Explores Gender Politics

The New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York presented 'Trigger: Gender as a Tool and a Weapon' from September 27, 2017, to January 21, 2018. This exhibition examined how gender functions as both an instrument and a weapon in contemporary society. The show was featured in artpress issue 450, published in December 2017, with coverage spanning pages 14-15. The New Museum hosted this significant exploration of gender politics during that period. The exhibition's title directly referenced the dual nature of gender as conceptual framework and social force. Artpress documented the exhibition in its December 2017 issue. The New Museum's programming addressed pressing social issues through contemporary art. The exhibition ran for nearly four months in New York City.
