Nestled in the heart of Long Island City lies a place where contemporary art thrives without bounds.  PS 1, a museum affiliated to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), is truly a wonderful contribution to modern art.  Founded in 1971, the museum has brought to light the work of many little known and emerging artists.

Since the museum was once a public school, it bears the name PS 1.  It has also kept other elements of the old school in its current design.  The exterior is a plain brick building with solid front doors.  Inside, the staircases are old and the corridors are very wide.  Floor plans hanging on the wall are written on chalkboards and old school benches allow visitors to rest in the main entrance.

I’ve visited PS 1 numerous times and from my experiences, I believe that the greatest thing about the museum is its diversity.  You can visit the museum many times and always find something new because the exhibits are constantly changing.  [click to continue…]
