A much loved skyspace work by James Turrell in New York, his installation Meeting (1980-86/2016) at MoMA PS1 in Queens, has been closed to the public because the scaffolding from a nearby high-rise development has encroached into the viewing field. The artist requested the work be shut, the museum says in a statement, and “it will remain closed until the temporary construction scaffolding is no longer visible.” — The Art Newspaper
Molly Kurzius, MoMA PS1 Communications Director, told Gothamist (where the story first broke) that the construction scaffolding currently visible in the Meeting installation would not be part of the finished residential high-rises replacing the former 'graffiti mecca' 5Pointz across the street from the museum. The view is expected to be unobstructed again by May.
The internet being the internet, commenters responded swiftly with the appropriate meme.
