Hans Haacke: All Connected

This retrospective at the New Museum brings together more than thirty works from across Haacke's career, including a number of rarely seen kinetic works and environmental sculptures. Works from the 1970s and ’80s address corporate sponsorship of major art institutions and political interference, and more recent works consider the intersection of global capitalism, nationalism, and humanitarian crises around the world.
