10 Must-Visit Spots in Long Island City: An Untapped Cities Guide
5. MoMA PS1: 22-25 Jackson Ave.
MoMA PS1 is like the cool, hip younger sister of the more well-known MoMA in midtown Manhattan. As an “exhibition space,” rather than a “collecting institution,” MoMA PS1 showcases experimental and contemporary art, usually utilizing interactive elements like sound, video, light and more. It was originally founded in LIC by an organization wanting to host exhibits in abandoned and underutilized spaces across the city. Its VW Sunday Sessions allow visitors to experience and participate in live art, and throughout the summer its popular Warm Up Series hosts live electronic music concerts, taking place within some type of artistic installation.
