Rockaway! 2018: Narcissus Garden by Yayoi Kusama | Open now through September 3

Don't miss artist Yayoi Kusama's “Narcissus Garden”, MoMA PS1's third iteration of their “Rockaway!” series! Comprised of 1,500 mirrored stainless steel spheres, the installation is on view in a former train garage that dates to the time when Fort Tilden was an active US military base. The mirrored metal surfaces reflect the industrial surroundings of the now-abandoned building, drawing attention to Fort Tilden’s history as well as the devastating damage inflicted on many buildings in the area by Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

La Frontera: Encounters Along the Border | Open now through September 23

La Frontera: Encounters Along the Border seeks to explore this space and what it represents. Jewelry artists from Mexico, the United States, Latin America, and Europe expose the underlying currents of the border environment within geographic, political, economic, social, cultural, and ideological contexts. The artists transform metal, fiber, wood, and other materials into representations of their experiences, their influences, their dreams, and their nightmares.

The Fourth Regional Plan | Open now through November 3

Published by the Regional Plan Association in 2017, the Fourth Regional Plan includes a broad vision and specific recommendations to promote equity, health, prosperity, and sustainability for the next generation. The exhibition will investigate four critical area types across the region: the core, the suburbs, local downtowns, and regional green spaces. In addition, the exhibition will showcase the Four Corridors, a special, six-month initiative launched prior to the release of the Fourth Regional Plan.
