Queens Museum: ‘A New Way to Travel’ | Queens Museum Partnered w/ Delta Air Lines @ LaGuardia

The Queens Museum celebrates its partnership with Delta Air Lines with the exhibition A New Way to Travel: Delta Air Lines x Queens Museum at LaGuardia Airport. The six New York-based artists featured in Delta’s new Terminal C–Mariam Ghani, Rashid Johnson, Aliza Nisenbaum, Virginia Overton, Ronny Quevedo, and Fred Wilson–made permanent artworks for the terminal’s atriums and elevator walls, as well as baggage claim and concession spaces. With the headhouse now open to the public, the Queens Museum presents the intricate, behind the scenes preparation that each of the six artists embarked on to create their works, through a display of 3D models, sketches, and material samples.
