New York: PS1 and the curated grafitti museum

[mattbell]

I visited an out-of-the-way museum in New York called PS1.  It's in an old public school building.  The classrooms have been converted to galleries, but the school hallways are pretty much intact, giving the whole place an edgy feel.  In addition, the museum security people there wear clothes that make them look like bouncers at a club. 

What it looks like inside:


Here's the view out the bathroom window of PS1's big outdoor art installation:

The arrangement of plants in the foreground is an urban farm that is used to make food for the museum's cafe.  It is edible art.  I had some.

Across the street from the art museum is 5 Pointz, a *curated* graffiti museum on an old warehouse that's being used for artists.

I liked 5 Pointz too.

Your photos were only from 18 months ago, but it looks like the artwork has completely changed (mostly for the better, IMHO). Hey, a gallery has to keep things fresh. :-)
