Highlights
Can you say the words "cutting edge contemporary"? Does the word
"alternative" not grate on your mind? If you
answer "Yes" then you know what PS 1 is all about. Founded in 1971
as the Institute of Art and Urban Resources, PS 1 has become the
cutting-edge venue for alternative art in New York City. We can't
describe it better than an excerpt from its mission statement:
"P.S.1 is devoted to the production, presentation,
interpretation and dissemination of the work of innovative
artists in all media, fostering creativity and uninhibited
artistic exploration...Its focus includes recognizing the work
of emerging artists, placing disparate media into new and
meaningful contexts, and defining alternative movements and
endeavors"
The Art Center is closely affiliated with the
Museum of Modern Art
and, in addition to its on-site activities, PS 1 operates
WPS1 Radio, an
Internet station devoted to art talk, music, spoken word and
historical recordings
