The concepts will be displayed in the Museum of Modern Art and P.S.1’s “Rising Currents” exhibition, which opens on March 24. One of the sites that the teams are contemplating includes Governors Island. You can click here to see a slideshow of the teams’ ideas. Last month, Leslie was a guest blogger on the MOMA/P.S.1 blog, Inside/Out, and shared her perspective what the five zones look like from Governors Island. Take a virtual walk around Governors Island with her and learn more about each teams’ proposed plans.
