The New York Times describes MNLA's design as "one of the best front doors in the city.”
PS1 is a well-known New York institution, showcasing recognized and experimental artists and providing working studio space in a converted school building in Queens. As part of the last phase of renovation, the exhibition space was enlarged by 41,000 sf by transforming a parking lot into outdoor galleries and performance art space.
The choice of materials was intentionally simple, strong, and flexible. Rubbed cast-in-place concrete walls form the enclosures and stabilized crushed bluestone define the floor. This neutral, malleable envelope permits artists complete freedom in displaying their installations.
