Richard Artschwager’s unique ovular forms were prevalent in the late 1970s and 1980s. The artist placed them in various locations around New York City, including subway platforms and smokestacks. His intention was to bring the public’s attention to surfaces and structures that usually go unnoticed. Installed throughout the hallways and stairwells of P.S.1, they highlight the building’s architecture and reference the way in which visitors move through the space.

Richard Artschwager's site-specific installation was completed in 1976 as part of P.S.1’s inaugural exhibition Rooms.

William Kentridge: Stair Procession
-- Arts - Installation Arts - Museum Exhibits
Venue: P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center
Cost: Suggested donation
$10 - Adults
$5 - Students and Seniors
Members: Free
This site-specific installation was curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev as part of P.S.1’s Vertical Painting series initiated by Alanna Heiss in 1997. Created for P.S.1’s northwest stairwell, Stair Procession is a white-on-black drawing similar to white chalk graffiti. The constricted nature of the staircase played a role in the artist's decision to use anamorphic distortions. Kentridge evokes the building’s original function as a public school in establishing both the subject matter and method.
William Kentridge's Stair Procession is located in Staircase B.

Keith Sonnier: Tunnel of Tears
-- Arts - Museum Exhibits Arts - Installation Arts - Architecture/Design
Venue: P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center
Cost: Suggested donation
$10 - Adults
$5 - Students and Seniors
Members: Free
A minimalist artist, Keith Sonnier is known for his use of neon lights in architectural contexts. His Tunnel of Tears was installed for the reopening of P.S.1 in 1997. The artist uses two fluorescent light fixtures, one blue and one pink, to form a series of neon loops. The individual fixtures are positioned at two different heights along the walls of the chimney. Like much of his work, Sonnier considers the architecture of the exhibition’s location in order to change our perception of the space.
Keith Sonnier's Tunnel of Tears is in the foyer of the lobby.
