Event Details
This weekend is the grand unveiling of artist Katharina Grosse’s seaside site-specific outdoor exhibition organized by MoMA PS1 in collaboration with the Rockaway Artists Alliance, Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy, National Park Service, Central Park Conservancy, NYC Parks & Recreation and Rockaway Beach Surf Club. Entitled Rockaway!, the installation transforms Fort Tilden’s decaying aquatics building into a monumental artwork that reflects the bold colors of sunset in the Rockaways. For the work, Grosse employed her unique spray painting technique. A ribbon cutting ceremony takes place today at 4pm.
Katharina Grosse’s work is part of MoMA PS1’s ongoing relationship with the Rockaways that began with the VW Dome 2, erected in 2013 in the wake of Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and continued in 2014 with Rockaway! an exhibit that featured solo projects by Patti Smith, Adrián Villar Rojas, and Janet Cardiff as well as a group show at the Rockaway Beach Surf Club.
