Description
P. S. 1 is a redbrick building that sits foursquare on a corner in Long Island City, near row houses, offices and small stores, all a stone's throw from Manhattan. The building is the grande dame of adaptive reuse in the world of New York art and architecture. P. S. 1 really was a public school for many decades.
Since its rebirth as a center for emerging visual and performance artists more than 20 years ago, the building has become dependable for its unpredictability, which is exactly why children enjoy going there. Huge installations, enigmatic performance art, experimental film and video, and works in progress by the artists-in-residence all capture the intensity and irreverence that truly belong, perhaps, only to the young.
Since 2000 P .S. 1 has been affiliated with MoMA, becoming, in effect the contemporary wing of that prestigious institution. The P. S. 1 Contemporary Art Center also administers the Clocktower Gallery in Manhattan (see separate entry).
