LYM Picks for the Weekend - Go, Shop, See

Saturday:

PS1
We've still haven't unpacked from our trip, so after finishing some tedious chores and tending to the shop (which by the way is starting their crazy summer sale) we will head out to PS1 to catch DFA/James Murphy and few other fab dj's get it moving on the dancefloor. This is our first trip to PS1 and I'm really curious about all this hype about Olafur Eliasson. People were talking about him in Madrid and I think this is like an extension a show taking place there. Don't forget if you are MOMA member you get in free. Your guest can also cut the scary line and proceed to the front. Sorry, they will have to pay but not waiting in the line is a super treat.

Olafur Eliasson
Reversed Waterfall, 1998

P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center is pleased to present three works from the Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. All works were previously shown at P.S.1's presentation of the survey Take your time: Olafur Eliasson. These key remaining works include: Take your time (2008), Reversed waterfall (1998), Beauty (1993). On view through September 1.

Warm Up is from 2 to 6pm but it's always nice to go early and check out the exhibits. P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center is located at 22-25 Jackson Avenue at 46th Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, across the Queensboro Bridge from midtown Manhattan. It is easily accessible by bus and subway. Traveling by subway, visitors should take either the E or V to 23 Street-Ely Avenue (note that the V does not run on weekends); the 7 to 45 Road-Courthouse Square; or the G to Court Square or 21 Street-Van Alst. Visitors may also take the Q67 bus to Jackson and 46th Avenues or the B61 to Jackson Avenue.
