A new Moma exhibition takes a look at projects for so-called public-facing spaces in the city and what young designers are doing for New Yorkers
on view at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Featuring 12 recently completed projects from around the five boroughs, the show is based around the somewhat broad but forgiving theme of “public”.
The diverse set of approaches are not all “public” in the classical sense of being owned and operated by the government. Often in New York today, public space is discussed in an outmoded, 1960s idea of what “public” means. Moma is offering a more contemporary, more complicated relationship to the concept. In fact, it uses the word “publics” in order to highlight the difficulty in even pinning down a single notion of public.
New York-based design firm New Affiliates had to navigate the bureaucracy of New York’s private and public sectors as it built its experimental greenhouse project, which uses discarded pieces of full-scale mock-ups of skyscrapers to make greenhouses for community gardens. New Affiliates’ pilot project in the Edgemere neighborhood of New York’s Rockaway peninsula was completed, but not without a delicate orchestration of many players.
