MoMA PS1, New York
2013
EXPO 1: New York is a wide-ranging exhibition and art festival dedicated to the environmental and sociopolitical challenges of the 21st Century. Taking place at MoMA PS1’s Long Island City home, the show encompasses exhibitions at a number of other venues throughout New York City. The festival is centered on the idea of what its curators call “dark optimism.” The exhibitions, installations, and prototypes featured in the festival suggest the end of an era plagued by climate change, economic suffering, and political strife, and the beginning of a new, brighter future.
