Moma Ps1

Unclaimed

I truly am inspired to pursue my passions as an artist after every time I visit MOMA PS1! The exhibits are always interesting, intimate, and so well crafted. Walking through the exhibits definitely give a great experience to the guest without overwhelming with too many articles to look at. Highly recommend this museum for casual museum dates!

I’ve been visiting MoMA PS1 for years and appreciate their commitment to showcasing a wide range of artists and perspectives. That said, there is usually at least one exhibit that feels justified with academic art speak. Still, I always find something that resonates with me. The building, a rustic old public school, is a gem among the surrounding luxury skyscrapers. I especially enjoy sitting in the room with the open ceiling, part of Meeting by James Turrell. The subjective nature of the work is part of the experience, and I always enjoy visiting. It is also free for New Yorkers and accessible with a stroller.

At MoMA PS1, I saw Love is the Drug by fellow filmmaker Liz Roberts. A film that moves like memory—urgent, dissolving, held together by breath and beat. It played in a room that seemed to have been waiting for it, light flickering across concrete like the past trying to speak. The gallery spaces were vast and strange—corridors folding into themselves, monitors half-hidden like secrets, projectors humming softly in the dark. You had to go looking. And in the act of looking, something in you opened. That felt right. The library was a kind of pause. Stillness among the screens. Shelves filled with titles I didn’t know I’d been missing. I stayed longer than I meant to, touching spines, reading fragments. It felt like being offered a new kind of silence. You don’t often see moving image work honored this way—in space, in scale, in trust. But here, it was given room. And I left with that room inside me.

Although the exhibitions vary from amazing to okay, I always enjoy visiting here. It's special partly because it's hiuawd in an old public school. The staff are pleasant and the layout is good. My family and I have come here many times over the years, all the way from southern Brooklyn.

We arrived a bit late so everything was kind of closing we tried and see some exhibitions and I found the short films truly beautiful, I think they gave a really strong message and made me feel a lot of emotions. We could completely see much more because a lot of the exhibitions were close but overall it was very nice.
