### New Museum, New Artist Residents

**Yun Choi**, **Alison Kuo**, and **Korakrit Arunanondchai** will take up residence in the New Museum's Artist Studio, a dedicated space carved out by the polarizing [OMA-designed expansion](https://hyperallergic.com/what-do-we-really-think-of-the-new-new-museum/) of the building. In an announcement today, May 7, the Lower East Side museum said the artists will participate in a series of residences at the 730-square-foot studio beginning this spring and continuing through winter 2027\. They'll create new work and develop onsite exhibitions and public programs in a model reminiscent of [MASS MoCA](https://massmoca.org/studios/?ref=hyperallergic.com) or [Pioneer Works](https://pioneerworks.org/residency?ref=hyperallergic.com)'s in-house residencies; Kuo, for instance, will produce a new performance piece informed by Cantonese Opera culture, complete with sets and costumes, to debut later this fall.

- David Zwirner Gallery now represents the estate of **Robert** **Therrien**, taking over from Gagosian after three decades. The news closely follows a major exhibition at the Broad that featured the artist's best-known works, oversized domestic objects that, as Matt Stromberg wrote for [*Hyperallergic*](https://hyperallergic.com/taking-a-seat-at-robert-therriens-table/), “tower over the viewer with a mix of cartoon absurdity and potential disaster.”
- **Laurel Nakadate** has been awarded the Maud Morgan Prize from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
- The Asian American Arts Alliance selected **Clare Hu** as the 2026 Van Lier Fellow for Visual Arts Practice, **Jolene Fernandez** as the Van Lier Fellow for Visual Arts Curation, and **Nikaio Thomashow** as the Jadin Wong Fellow.
- **Jill** **Magid** is now represented by Olney Gleason.
- The Santa Barbara Museum of Art appointed **Briana H. Moncrief** and **Courtney** **Treut** to its Board of Trustees.
- The HistoryMiami Museum is rebranding to the Museum of Miami and adopting a community-centered, “[museum-without-walls](https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article315641844.html?ref=hyperallergic.com)” model focused on bringing art and programs directly to Miami-Dade County neighborhoods.

It may feel like we've just docked our gondolas, but Frieze New York is already on the horizon. The fair [opens in just under a week](https://hyperallergic.com/new-york-art-fairs-spring-2026/), and this year's edition will kick off in style with a new staff uniform by Japanese artist Reika Takebayashi. Lucky art fair employees (never thought I'd type those words in my life) will get to don the t-shirt, printed with the artist's luscious 2025 painting of a wild, pink-hued jungle. *Hyperallergic* Associate Editor Lisa Yin Zhang, who once had to work the fair in her previous role at *Frieze*, told me via Slack: “Mad af bc they literally made me be one of those gallery assistants during the fair while i was assistant editor and it was just a plain black shirt.”
