Recent
events in Queens, New York, have expanded its attraction to art lovers
and sculptors in particular. The Museum
of Modern Art has taken a temporary space here (MoMA QNS) while the
original Manhattan building is undergoing major new construction. Within
walking distance of MoMa QNS is P.S.1 Contemporary
Art Center (Museum of Modern Art affiliate), the new location of Sculpture
Center, as well as temporary spaces for Noguchi
Museum and Museum for African
Art. This series of video interviews with curators and directors of
several Queens institutions also include long time residents, Queens
Museum of Art and Socrates
Park.

Street, Queensborough Bridge. By subway take the Queens bound E, F, R, or
7 train. The Queens Artlink is
a free weekend shuttle bus service from Manhattan to these Queens cultural
attractions.
