    r /' RE VISIONS: CRITICAL STUDIES IN THE CIVILIZING RITUALS HISTORY AND THEORY OF ART Series editors: Jon Bird and Lisa Tickner, INSIDE PUBLIC ART MUSEUMS Middlesex University Art history has been transformed as an academic discipline over the last twenty years. The 'new' art history is no longer new, and that widely used and useful label has come to seem dangerously over-tidy. Re visions responds to the arrival of new ways of thinking in art history in a series of lucid and accessible studies by authors distinguished in their fields. Each book examines the usefulness of innovative concepts and methods, not in abstract terms but through the analysis of particular art objects, ways of Carol Duncan writing about art, and cultural institutions and practices.

  • THE MUSEUM of MODERN ART CELEBRATES the OPENING of Moma QNS ITS NEW HOME in LONG ISLAND CITY, QUEENS, with FIVE INAUGURAL EXHIBITIONS
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART CELEBRATES THE OPENING OF MoMA QNS ITS NEW HOME IN LONG ISLAND CITY, QUEENS, WITH FIVE INAUGURAL EXHIBITIONS NEW YORK, JULY 2002––On June 29, 2002, The Museum of Modern Art celebrated the grand opening of MoMA QNS, its new Museum in Long Island City, Queens. Michael Maltzan Architecture (Los Angeles) and Scott Newman of Cooper, Robertson & Partners (New York) have radically transformed the former Swingline staple factory building into a sleek and elegant showcase for modern and contemporary art. The intense blue stucco exterior recalls the original bright blue brick of the Swingline factory. The space encompasses 160,000 square feet, with 25,000 square feet of exhibition space, as well as a café and store; conservation laboratory; library and public reading room; collections, imaging, and framing facilities; offices; and storage space. MoMA QNS will present a dynamic program of exhibitions while construction is under way at the Museum’s midtown Manhattan site. It will serve as a permanent home for storage of MoMA’s collection, as well as a facility for conservation, study, and research. MoMA QNS joins a growing list of cultural destinations, galleries, and artists who have discovered the vibrant community that characterizes Long Island City, located in New York City’s Borough of Queens, just across the East River from Manhattan. The new Museum of Modern Art, designed by Yoshio Taniguchi, is scheduled to open in 2005 in midtown Manhattan. The Opening Celebrations To celebrate the opening of MoMA QNS, the Museum commissioned several contemporary artists to create new works.
