DescExhibitions The following exhibitions attracted more visitors than ever before in the Museum's history:Mierle Laderman Ukeles: Maintenance ArtSince the late 1960s, Mierle Laderman Ukeles' performances, sculptural installations, and writing have explored issues profoundly important to society today: the role of women in society, cultures of work and labor, and urban and community resilience. Her MANIFESTO FOR MAINTENANCE ART 1969! laid out the hidden, yet essential role of maintenance in Western societyand the radical implications of actively valuing rather than dismissing or hiding it.This first survey of Ukeles' work is organized by the Queens Museum's Larissa Harris and guest co-curator Patricia C. Phillips, who initiated the project in 2012. The show spans five decades, from her work as a pioneer of feminist performance to a practitioner of public art, in which Ukeles invites us to reconsider indispensable urban systems and the workers who maintain them. Ukeles is undoubtedly best-known for her 36+ year role as the official, unsalaried Artist-in-Residence at New York's Department of Sanitation. Unprecedented when it began in 1978, this residency has now become a model for municipalities engaging with artists as creative agents.Commonwealth: Water for AllIn New York City, it's easy to take water for granted. Water makes up more than 60% of our bodies, and while it is essential to life, increasingly we've come to think of it as a commodity to be bought and sold thoughtlessly. Meanwhile, there is unequal access to clean water in many regions across the country and throughout the world, where scarcity renders visible the substance's basic vitality to all living things. From wars over water that have taken place throughout Latin America for the past two decades, to the recent privatization of public water in American cities like Flint and Detroit, the effects of fragmented and shortsighted perspectives on water management are stark.Highlighting the urgency of this issue, two recently acquired portfolios of prints developed by the Justseeds Artists' Cooperative, We Are the Storm (2015) and Wellspring (2016), are presented with a selection of materials developed for the movement against the Dakota Access Pipeline at the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota. Additionally, a poster production project will run concurrently with the exhibition, with designs addressing related issues printed in editions of 500 on the Museum's Risograph machine, and available for free to visitors, with a new poster unveiled every two weeks. Social movements have a history of using and altering developing technology to rejuvenate traditional methods of cultural production and communication tools and artists in solidarity with Standing Rock are using traditional printmaking techniques to create iconic imagery which the movement picked up, distributed through social media, and re-deployed not only as online icons and avatars, but also as posters, banners, and t-shirts. By abandoning the concept of an original work," the art has become part of multiple, alternative value systems.Commonwealth: Water For All is the third in a series of exhibitions that features contemporary expressions about water, its utility, and its preservation and consumption in dialogue with the Museum's long-term display of the Relief Map of New York City's Water System, a sprawling WPA project commissioned for the 1939-40 World's Fair. The model traces the system of aqueducts and tunnels that support the flow of water from the mountains of upstate New York to New York City.Marinella Senatore: Piazza Universale / Social Stages (Apr 9 2017- Jul 30 2017)The Queens Museum is proud to host the first show initiated by an American museum by Italian artist Marinella Senatore. Piazza Universale / Social Stages, curated by Matteo Lucchetti, introduced the multifaceted practice of Senatore by looking at a range of important recent projects created in Spain, France, Italy and the US between 2009 and today.Piazza universale "the universal square" refers to the exquisitely Italian concept of the piazza, a public space par excellence where different communities meet, and as an embodiment of an ideal, universal space where future communities can be envisioned collaboratively. The title Piazza Universale/Social Stages presents one Italian and one English phrase as if the second were a translation of the former. But the second is not a translation of the first. This gap is where the exhibition unfolds, in its attempt to translate or transform the artist's live, participatory and community-engaged projects which unfolded in Europe and elsewhere into a new and unique experience within the Queens Museum galleries. In doing so, the galleries themselves turn into theatre, cinema, or television production sets, or a setting for poetry or dance class, offering the works of Senatore as "stages for and "stages of" a collective social becoming tools for individual growth and collective empowerment.Senatore's art is characterized by public participation. Everyone can take part in the artist's works, which simultaneously question her role as an author and that of the public as the receiver. Starting with the dialogue between individual stories, collective cultures and social structures, Senatore uses a broad spectrum of media: video, drawing, performance, installation, photography, sound, painting and sculpture, in order to let her projects speak to multiple publics and contexts.Ronny Quevedo: no hay medio tiempo / there is no halftime (Apr 9 2017-Aug 13 2017)no hay medio tiempo / there is no halftime features site-specific and cross-disciplinary works that incorporate wide-ranging references from sports field diagrams to Andean heraldic codes. The exhibition's centerpiece, no hay medio tiempo / there is no halftime (after Glissant and Quevedo), 2017, is a polychromatic line drawing executed directly on the 2,700 square foot expanse of the Museum's atrium. The work's dynamic composition echoes the Museum's immediate environment of Flushing Meadows Corona Park, where various ball games are played daily by local immigrant communities, the work is composed of fragmented diagrams of basketball, soccer, volleyball, and handball courts. Having moved from Ecuador to New York City in the '80s, Quevedo's work interlaces autobiographical and sociological insights in a reflection on his bicultural upbringing and his father's soccer career as player and referee in both places. Taken together, the installation renders the disquiet, yet poetic and exuberant state of peoples and cultures in global flux through a materially syncretized and conceptually complex body of work.Desc

Part III, Line 1a:In conformity with practices followed by many museums, art objects purchased or donated are not capitalized. The Museum's art collection consists primarily of American contemporary paintings, works on paper, photographs and World's Fair artifacts. The Museum carried insurance coverage in amounts equal to the estimated value of the collection as well as sufficient coverage for collections on loan. It is the policy of the Museum to hold its collections for public exhibition, education, or research in furtherance of public service, rather than financial gain. Any proceeds from the sale of collection items are used to acquire other items for collections.
Part III, Line 4:The QMA Collection consists of three parts: 1. The 1939-40 and 1964-65 New York World's Fair archives. Notably, this includes the Panorama of the City of New York, a 9,335 square foot architectural model that represents every building in New York constructed before 1992 at a scale of 1:1200 (one inch = 100 feet). Built by Robert Moses for the 1964 World's Fair, in part as a celebration of the City's municipal infrastructure in all five boroughs, it includes a total of 895,000 individual structures. 2. The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass (On long-term loan. Includes lamps and windows as well as unused glass from the workshop, formerly located in Corona, Queens.) Installed in April 2016, the exhibition, A Passion for Tiffany Lamps, highlights the extraordinary scope of the Neustadts' collection. Examples of Tiffany's most iconic lamps - the Wisteria and Dragonfly - are on view, along with unusual lamps produced in limited number, such as the Pond Lily globe and Peacock hanging shade. 3. Works of art as follows: a. Collections of art related to the World's Fairs, such as an in-depth collection relating to Salvador Dali's Dream of Venus (Amusement Zone, 1939-40) and photographs by well-known photographers selected for the Fair by museum directors across the U.S., gathered under the name Photography as Fine Art (Kodak Pavilion, 1964-65). b. A collection of over 2,000 photographs donated over 30 years by collector and photographer Charles Schwartz, including extraordinary examples of documentary, photojournalistic, and art photography created between 1860s - 1960s by photographers such as Abbott, Smith, Stieglitz, Lange, Halsman, Atget and others. c. 300+ original drawings, etchings and lithographs by emigre illustrator, social satirist and long-term Queens resident William Sharp (1900-1961) whose realist depictions of current events and daily life entertained and informed a generations of readers of Esquire, Life, New York Daily News, PM, Collier's, the New York Post and The New York Times. d. Cuban painter Emilio Sanchez (1921- 1999), who spent student days & mature career in NYC, is represented by 25 works vividly depicting his native Cuba as well as the urban constructivist environment. e. Approximately 200 works of contemporary conceptually-based art in all media, often specially commissioned for exhibitions at the Museum. Highlights include Louise Lawler's photographs of the museum's former collection of classical plaster casts (Three, Objects and Storage, 1984); the results of an archaeological dig by Mark Dion (The Great Ash Dump Dig, Flushing Meadows Park, 2001), Nils Norman's library-on-a-bicycle (The Gerard Winstanley Radical Gardening Space Mobile Field Center and Weather Station, 1999); Dulce Pinzon's photographs (Wonder Woman, 2006) Andrew Moore's photographic series on city pools built by Robert Moses (20 inkjet prints, 2005); Seher Shah's architecturally-influenced abstractions (Black Cube Study #14 and #15, 2007); 16 of Shaun El C. Leonardo's performance photographs (El Conquistador vs. The Invisible Man, 2004-2006), Anthony Auerbach's transparencies and digital print (Emperor Panorama and The State of New York, 2007 and 2006), Pedro Meyer's photographs (Pedro Meyer's Heresies, 2008), Duke Riley's laser engraving and drypoint print on handmade paper (Morituri Te Salutant, 2009), among many others. IN 2011 -2013, we received 18 Frank O. Larson digital prints from archival negatives of 1950s New York City street photography. The Metropolitan Museum of Art donated Michelangelo's original plaster cast of the Pieta to our collection - on long term loan to the museum since 1975. A purchase for the collection includes Coco Fusco's video, The Couple in the Cage: Guatianaui Odyssey. A partial donation/purchase was made for Andrew Moore's photograph, Cooper School, Detroit.
Part V, Line 4:The Museum has established an endowment fund which consists of donor restricted gifts and contributions. The Museum appropriates for expenditure or accumulation as is prudent for the uses, benefits, purposes and duration for which the endowment fund is established, subject to the intent of the donor as expressed in the gift instrument. Currently, expenditures from the endowment funds are used to support operational purposes as needed.
Part X, Line 2:The Museum recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Management has determined that the Museum had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition or disclosure. The Museum is no longer subject to examinations by the applicable taxing jurisdictions for periods prior to fiscal 2014.

ExplanationTeen Docents initially come to QMA through a general application process which is then followed by a group interview with their fellow peers already in the program. Participants are not eligible to earn a stipend until after they have attended a full semester of the after-school component of the program, and then they must also successfully complete a four week training program mentored by their elder peers. Once students have shown that they are capable of representing the Museum as a teen docent they are finally invited to earn a stipend by assisting with various programs in the Museum such as the Sunday Drop-in Family Workshop. Opportunities are distributed amongst students in a balanced fashion, consistent with the docents' performance in their duties. This process and associated recordkeeping is overseen by the Manager of Family and After School Programs in the Museum's Education Department. The Museum regularly furnished final narrative and expenditure reports for grants and maintains eligibility as a 501(c)(3) non-profit.ExplanationTxt

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2Andrew and Paula kirby have a family relationship.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees shall receive a paper copy of the Form 990 to review and approve. The Form 990, as approved by the Finance Committee, will be forwarded electronically to the full Board of Trustees for review and comment before it is filed.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cTrustees must disclose the transaction which likely amounts to an actual or potential conflict of interest to the Board and Executive Committee, and abstain from any discussion about the potential transaction. A trustee with a conflict must recuse themselves from any voting related to the transaction. The Executive Committee will determine whether the Queens Museum can obtain a transaction that is equally or more advantageous to the Museum from a person or entity without a conflict of interest. If the Queens Museum cannot reasonably do so (obtain an equally or more advantageous transaction from a noninterested party), the Board may approve the transaction by a majority vote of the disinterested trustees and the Executive Director. A quorum must be present, meaning a majority of all trustees. The interested trustee may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum but not in determining a majority vote to authorize the transaction. The Queens Museum must disclose the transaction and the voting details in its minutes. This includes the names of the persons present for discussion and voting, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the discussion, and a record of any votes taken. The Museum documents the process it undertook to verify that the transaction is fair. Trustees are required to disclose this interest in writing on the Annual Acknowledgement of Code of Ethics and Conflicts of Interest Questionnaire.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15Compensation is part of the annual budget process which is vetted through the Finance Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees. As a part of this process, compensation decisions are made for all Museum staff, including the Executive Director and the Director of Finance. The Committee uses comparable data from functionally comparable positions at similar organizations to frame compensation decisions. Other sources of compensation data used for setting executive compensation included salary surveys of local museum directors, compensation studies prepared by hired consultant, and forms 990 of other organizations.
