Warm Up

PS1, Moma's young upstart space in Queens, turns into a venue for Saturday dance parties and gallery-viewing with beer. I have to say, it comes pretty close to the classic Vibes on a Summer's Day back when it was affordable and intimate.

This year's winner of the PS1 Young Architect Award, Ball-Nogues from LA, has created an amazing space to Warm Up 07.
The cafe ceiling is transformed.

Multi-tasking in NYC.

Installation of sky by James Turrell - very cool.

And at the end of the day, we end up at Water Taxi Beach Bar, for neon palm trees, sand and the best view of a Manhattan sunset you could imagine. Hint: it's not really a beach. Just sand dumped on an industrial lot in Long Island City.
