New Project

“They’re alive!! They’re alive!!! @Mookntaka ’s “Friends from the Canal” have made their official debut in Gowanus. We attended last night’s joy-filled public art unveiling led by Mark & Karyn as Loofa, Pebbles and Shelby popped up to say “Hello!” More to come on this incredibly fun collaboration with Mookntaka and Van Alen!

The dictionary definition of a Renaissance man, Raphael only lived to be 37 yet was celebrated as a genius from his teenage years, leaving behind a legacy that still shapes how we see art today. Now on view at @metmuseum , “Raphael: Sublime Poetry” places these extraordinary works front and center—bringing together vibrant paintings and intricately woven tapestries alongside the preparatory studies that reveal how each masterpiece came to life. The exhibition showcases renowned highlights, rarely seen treasures, and findings discovered through the scanning of his works that offer a deeper look at Raphael’s creative process and enduring vision. @new.project was proud to provide exhibit fabrication services in support of the Met’s exhibition and curatorial teams for this immersive, groundbreaking show - the first comprehensive exhibition of Raphael’s works shown in the United States. #exhibitfabrication #raphael #metmuseum #customfabrication Image 3 courtesy of Metropolitan Museum of Art

Valentine’s Day may have come and gone but lifetimes of “Love and Wonder” are on permanent display at the new Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center in Brooklyn. Artist @vanessalgerman ’s artworks are a celebration of the vibrancy of the neighborhood’s people, history and culture. Inspired by her artist residency collaboration with members of the East Flatbush community, the collection of works installed throughout the Center comprises the East Flatbush People’s Museum of Love and Wonder (@museumofloveandwonder ). @new.project is proud to have collaborated with the artist and provided exhibit and art fabrication services for the captivating works which were commissioned by the NYC DCLA Percent for Art program in collaboration with @nycparks and @nycddc . Dedicated to the legacy and advocacy of the civil rights leader and politician Shirley Chisholm, the recreation center recently held a ribbon cutting where the joyous celebration was testament to the significant impact community-focused facilities and art in public spaces play in the lives of so many. This weekend @nyculture will be hosting artist-led tours and a talk where you can learn more about Vanessa’s community-driven artistic process and see the works. #PercentForArtNYC #publicartNYC #artfabrication #exhibitfabrication

This week @new.project welcomed Koko’s Teen program for a behind-the-scenes look at the world of custom fabrication. From getting demos from our team and seeing metal and wood fab machines at work to assisting in interactive prototype testing and gleaning sneak peeks at exciting projects in the works, it was great to witness their curiosity and enthusiasm for understanding all that a fabrication studio team does and for the wide range of work that we execute for clients.
 As a materials donor, New Project is proud to be a long-time supporter of the enriching programs that @koko_opensource offers - teaching kids about sustainability while keeping construction materials out of the waste stream.

As Lunar New Year celebrations light up cities around the world, Tibetan Losar 2026 begins—welcoming the Year of the Fire Horse. To mark the occasion, @new.project is reflecting on one of the most breathtaking works from the @rubinmuseum exhibition “Reimagine: Himalayan Art Now”. Suspended from the museum’s atrium skylight, “The Windhorse (lungta)” (2024) by Bhutanese artist Asha Kama Wangdi of VAST Bhutan - @vastbhutan - transformed the space into a soaring meditation on movement, balance, and inner strength. As visitors spiraled up and down the Rubin’s iconic staircase, they journeyed alongside five majestic horses—each crafted from prayer flags and embodying an element and state of mind rooted in Tibetan Buddhist teachings: - Yellow — Wisdom / Earth - Red — Compassion / Fire - Green — Equanimity / Water - White — Purity / Air - Blue — Endurance / Space Five stories high and rich with symbolism, the installation invited moments of reflection, renewal, and connection—perfectly aligned with the spirit of Losar and the dynamic energy of the Fire Horse. New Project was deeply honored to collaborate with the artists and the Rubin team, providing exhibition and art fabrication support for this extraordinary show. Wishing a prosperous new year full of positive energy, life force, and good luck to all. #RubinMuseum #contemporaryart #himalayanart #artfabrication #exhibitfabrication #exhibitspecialists

Slowly creeping up on its 150th birthday and drawing thousands of visitors since the day it opened in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge continues to wow and inspire. Once the longest suspension bridge in the world, it was a groundbreaking feat of engineering designed by John A. Roebling. After his death, the project became a true family legacy, carried forward by his son Washington and, crucially, his wife Emily, whose leadership helped bring the bridge to completion. @metmuseum in collaboration with the @nycarchives , offers a rare glimpse of a selection of some the original bridge drawings in the exhibit, “The Brooklyn Bridge Up Close,” giving a glimpse into the evolution of a NYC icon. #BrooklynBridge #exhibitfabrication #architecturalfabrication #customfabrication
