If you are in NYC, be sure and catch this show before it closes! It has some of my favorite art in it, including “Lick and Lather” by Janine Antoni, which I am SUPER obsessed with, and which kind of freaks my husband out.

Via Urban Omnibus » No Place for Amateurs: A New Stadium vs. Queens’ Soccer Fields:
Samuel Stein argues against Major League Soccer’s proposed stadium in Queens and asks “who exactly will benefit from yet another stadium in the park”?
The editor’s introductory note:
The renaissance of New York City’s park system over the past fifteen years has coincided with a return of megaprojects in real estate. The big vision, and big investments, in free space and public recreation — like the High Line or Brooklyn Bridge Park — aren’t often thought to correspond to the commensurate development of private property and commercial recreation — from Hudson Yards to Atlantic Yards to Willets Point. Yet in the opinion piece below,Samuel Stein, a community organizer and Elmhurst resident, grounds his impassioned argument against a proposed Major League Soccer Stadium in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in the complex historical relationship between parks and grands projets in New York City. While his position on this project is personal, the history he unearths — of the Queens’ park’s evolution from an ash dump to the celebrated grounds of two World’s Fairs to the biggest public park in the city’s most diverse borough, already home to two large sporting complexes — is of interest to anyone interested in the fine and eroding line between public and private interests in the city’s precious remaining open space.
