WE HAVE BEEN PLEASED AND PROUD OF THE CRITICAL RESPONSE AND OF THE WAYS IN WHICH WE HAVE USED OUR EXHIBITION CONTENT TO ENRICH OUR EDUCATION AND PUBLIC PROGRAM OFFERINGS. THE KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST YEAR'S EXHIBITION CALENDAR DEMONSTRATE OUR SENSITIVITY TO OUR SITE AND OUR HISTORY AND OUR DEEP CONNECTION TO THE COMMUNITIES AROUND US. NOTABLE HIGHLIGHTS HAVE BEEN: BRINGING THE WORLD INTO THE WORLD (JUNE 2014-OCTOBER 2015) BRINGING THE WORLD INTO THE WORLD EXPLORED THE PHYSICAL AND INTELLECTUAL EXPERIENCES OF THE ACT OF SEEING. THE SHOW WAS INSPIRED BY THE LARGEST OBJECT IN THE QUEENS MUSEUM'S COLLECTION, THE PANORAMA OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, A 9,335 SQUARE FOOT SCALE MODEL OF THE METROPOLIS COMMISSIONED BY MASTER BUILDER ROBERT MOSES (1888-1981) FOR THE 1964-65 NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR. RECAPTURING THE ALLURE AND THE WIDE-EYED AMAZEMENT TRIGGERED BY THIS HISTORICAL ARTIFACT, BRINGING THE WORLD INTO THE WORLD REVISITED THE HISTORICAL PANORAMA-THE CROWD-PLEASING SPECTACLE OF A 360-DEGREE CIRCULAR PAINTING-AND ITS CONCEPTS AND ROLES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF 19TH CENTURY VISUAL CULTURE. THE EXHIBITION SHOWCASED A DIVERSE BODY OF WORKS - NEW COMMISSIONS AND EXISTING WORKS BY A WIDE RANGE OF ARTISTS - EXPLORING THE FORMAL AND CONCEPTUAL PRINCIPLES OF PANORAMAS AS DEVICES OF WONDER AND THE MANY WAYS IN WHICH WE SEE, IMAGINE, AND COMPREHEND WORLDS BOTH FAMILIAR AND UNFAMILIAR.JEWYO RHII'S COMMONLY NEWCOMER (NOVEMBER 2014-FEBRUARY 2015)MARKING THE END OF HER RESIDENCY AT QM AND JEWYO RHII'S COMMONLY NEWCOMER EXPLORED HER EXPERIENCES AS IN IMMIGRANT FROM SOUTH KOREA. RHII DEVELOPED THIS SPRAWLING SCULPTURAL INSTALLATION, WITH ITS MULTIPLE COMPONENTS, TO MATERIALIZE HER TRANSPLANTATION TO THE BOROUGH OF QUEENS.POLIT SHEER-FORM! (NOVEMBER 2014 - MARCH 2015)THIS EXHIBITION IS A SURVEY OF THE MOST REPRESENTATIVE WORKS CREATED BY POLIT-SHEER-FORM-OFFICE DURING ITS NINE YEARS OF EXISTENCE, BUT IT IS ALSO IN SOME WAY A SINGLE PROJECT THAT INTEGRATES THE INDIVIDUAL ARTWORKS WITH THE SITE. THE QUEENS MUSEUM SPACES ARE GIVEN AN ARCHITECTURAL FORM EVOCATIVE OF THE SOCIALIST ERA MEANT TO BRING VIEWERS DIRECTLY INTO THE COLLECTIVIST IMAGINATION. AMONG THE WORKS ON VIEW, LIBRARY AND FITNESS FOR ALL ESPECIALLY INVITE THE AUDIENCE TO EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF BEING TOGETHER, AND THE PERFORMANCE PIECE DO THE SAME GOOD DEED AT LUNCH HOUR ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3 IN TIMES SQUARE, A SPECIAL COMMISSION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TIMES SQUARE ARTS FOR THIS EXHIBITION, IS ALSO THE FIRST TIME THE GROUP HAS REACHED OUT TO ENGAGE MASSES OF PEOPLE IN ITS PERSONAL, COLLECTIVE WAYS. (THE SAME ARTWORK WAS ORGANIZED BY THE GUANGDONG TIMES MUSEUM AND PERFORMED IN GUANGZHOU, CHINA ON JUNE 9, 2014.) CULTURAL DIVERSITY IS A HALLMARK OF QUEENS AND THE AFFIRMATION OF INDIVIDUALISM IS A CULTURAL SYMBOL OF THE UNITED STATES. POLIT-SHEER-FORM-OFFICE HOPES TO MAKE THEIR VOICE HEARD IN THIS CENTER OF DIVERSITY AND CONSUMERIST CULTURE, AND, BASED ON THEIR LIFE EXPERIENCES, SPEAK OUT ABOUT HOW THE "WE" CAN EXIST AMIDST THE "I."AFTER MIDNIGHT: INDIAN MODERNISM TO CONTEMPORARY INDIA (MARCH 2015 - SEPTEMBER 13, 2015)TAKING ITS TITLE FROM THE PHRASE "MIDNIGHT'S CHILDREN," COINED BY SALMAN RUSHDIE IN HIS SEMINAL 1981 NOVEL ABOUT INDIA'S TRANSITION TO INDEPENDENCE, THE EXHIBITION WEAVES THEMES OF ART AND NATION-BUILDING TO REVEAL SHIFTING ZEITGEISTS IN CULTURAL PRODUCTION, AND EXPLORES HOW THESE ARTISTIC PRACTICES REGARD AND CONTEST A GEOPOLITICAL CONSCIOUSNESS THROUGH MODERNIZATION AND GLOBALIZATION. THE EXHIBITION FOCUSES ON A COHORT OF ARTISTS WHO EMERGED WITH INDEPENDENCE - THE PROGRESSIVES - AND ALSO A GENERATION OF YOUNGER ARTISTS WHO CONTINUE TO EXPLORE THESE THEMES. ADDITIONALLY SINCE MANY OF THE FEATURED ARTISTS HAD SEMINAL EXPERIENCES EITHER STUDYING IN OR VISITING NEW YORK AFTER MIDNIGHT ALSO PRESENTS A BODY OF FILM, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND CHEMICAL PRINTS INSPIRED BY THE ARTISTS' INTERACTION WITH THE CITY'S ARTISTIC ENERGY AS WELL AS A COLLECTION OF EPHEMERA FROM THE SAME PERIOD.2013-2015 QUEENS MUSEUM STUDIO PROGRAM EXHIBITION (MARCH 2015-SEPTEMBER 2015)THIS EXHIBITION PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR VISITORS TO WITNESS THE WORK CREATED BY ARTISTS SUPPORTED BY QUEENS MUSEUM'S STUDIO PROGRAM. IT FEATURES THE WORKS OF 12 ARTISTS WHO HAVE OCCUPIED STUDIOS AT MUSEUM DURING THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF OUR STUDIO RESIDENCY PROGRAM: 2013-2014 AND 2014-2015. A MAJOR COMPONENT OF OUR OPEN A.I.R. ARTIST SERVICES PROGRAM, THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED IN RESPONSE TO THE LACK OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO TALENTED BUT OFTEN OVERLOOKED ARTISTS IN QUEENS AND THE OTHER OUTER BOROUGHS. SINCE OUR EXPANSION, QM HAS BEEN HOME TO EIGHT EMERGING ARTISTS SELECTED EACH YEAR WHO ARE OFFERED STUDIOS IN OUR NORTH WING AT HIGHLY SUBSIDIZED RATES, AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY A UNIQUE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM THAT UTILIZES THE EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES OF QM. ADDITIONALLY STUDENTS FROM SOCIAL PRACTICE QUEENS - A PARTNERSHIP WITH QUEENS COLLEGE MFA PROGRAM - ARE SHARING A COLLABORATIVE STUDIO SPACE WITHIN THE QUEENS MUSEUM'S ARTIST STUDIO PROGRAM AND HAVE CONTRIBUTED A COLLABORATIVE WORK TO THE EXHIBITION, SACRED SPACE-TRIANGLE, 2015. 1279452 17977 EDUCATION THE PAST YEAR HAS BEEN A LANDMARK ONE FOR QM'S EDUCATION PROGRAMS AS WE ENJOY THE OPPORTUNITIES OF OUR NEW SPACE AND EXPANDED EXHIBITION PROGRAM. MORE THAN 28,000 STUDENTS VISITED THE MUSEUM THIS YEAR AND WE HAVE EXPANDED OUR SCHOOL TOURS BY 25% SERVING MORE THAN 3,000 ADDITIONAL STUDENTS AND INCREASING OUR SCHOOL TOURS FROM FOUR TO SIX PER DAY. QL@QM (QUEENS LIBRARY AT QUEENS MUSEUM)MUCH OF OUR DEVELOPMENT WORK IN THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IS FOCUSED ON OUR MOVE TOWARD THE OPENING OF THE QUEENS LIBRARY @ QUEENS MUSEUM BRANCH LIBRARY. WE ARE EXPANDING AND DEEPENING OUR COLLABORATION WITH THE LIBRARY IN ORDER TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK THAT WILL BE CRUCIAL TO CREATING A FULLY INTEGRATED MUSEUM AND LIBRARY SERVICE MODEL FOR OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES PRESENTED BY THIS ITERATION OF THE MUSEUM-LIBRARY PARTNERSHIP WAS BEGINNING TO FURTHER THE WORK WE DO ACROSS GENERATIONS. OUR PAST COLLABORATIVE WORK HAS FOCUSED ON ADULT IMMIGRANT LEARNING THROUGH NEW NEW YORKERS AND ON FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM. WITH QL@QM WE ARE BEGINNING TO INVIGORATE OUR PROGRAMMING THAT ENGAGES THE CLEAR MISSING LINK: SENIORS. FOLLOWING THE MODEL OF THE LIBRARY'S AWARD-WINNING MAIL-A-BOOK PROGRAM, QM'S DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, JASON YOON, HAS DEVELOPED THE CURRICULUM AND ACCOMPANYING PRINT MATERIALS FOR A PILOT VIRTUAL EXHIBITION TOUR OF THE MUSEUM'S HALLMARK PERMANENT EXHIBITION, THE PANORAMA OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, AN INTERACTIVE ONE-TIME PRESENTATION VIA TELECONFERENCE UTILIZE ITS MAIL-A-BOOK MAILING SYSTEM SENDING MATERIALS TO THOSE WHO SIGN UP.

EACH CLASS TAKES PLACE AT LOCAL LIBRARY BRANCHES AND AT QM. NOTABLY, TWO OF THESE COURSES ARE IN ART FORMS AND A LANGUAGE (TIBETAN) WE HAVE NEVER OFFERED BEFORE - CONTINUING THE NEW NEW YORKERS TRADITION OF BEING CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE AS WELL AS EXPERIMENTING WITH NEW ART FORMS THAT WE INTRODUCE TO STUDENTS.QUEENS TEENSOUR NATIONAL AWARD-WINNING QUEENS TEENS PROGRAM HAS CONTINUED ITS TWO-YEAR INVESTIGATION "THE ARTIST AND THEIR PUBLICS". THE TEENS HAVE GONE ON SEVERAL FIELD TRIPS AS WELL AS PARTICIPATED IN WORKSHOPS AND DISCUSSIONS RELATED TO DIFFERENT TACTICS THAT ARTISTS USE TO INTERACT WITH DIVERSE PUBLICS AND TO RAISE PRESSING SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ISSUES. AMONG THE MANY VISITS AND WORKSHOPS, SOME NOTEWORTHY EXPERIENCES WERE: 1) A VISIT TO THE KEITH HARING FOUNDATION ARCHIVES, WHERE THE TEENS LEARNED ABOUT THE ARTIST'S LIFE AND WORK FROM FOUNDATION STAFF; 2) PARTICIPATION IN A ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION ABOUT ART, POLITICS AND MUSEUM CAREERS; AND 3) A VISIT TO THE SOCIETY OF ILLUSTRATORS TO SEE AN EXHIBITION ON CHILDREN'S BOOK ILLUSTRATIONS. INSPIRED BY INTERACTIVE AND SOCIAL AND POLITICALLY ENGAGED ARTWORKS THEY HAVE SEEN BOTH AT QM AND THROUGH VARIOUS EXPERIENCES AROUND NYC, OUR TEENS ARE CURRENTLY PLANNING AND DEVELOPING THEIR OWN ART PROJECTS THAT WILL INTERACT WITH MUSEUM VISITORS IN NEW AND UNIQUE WAYS. 992686 56686 PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENTTHE MUSEUM'S PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DEPARTMENT CONTINUES TO WORK WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON AND OFF-SITE THROUGH PUBLIC PROGRAMS RELATED TO OUR EXHIBITIONS AND THROUGH COMMUNITY ORGANIZING INITIATIVES.
