Current Exhibit through October 25, 2019: Camille Hoffman?s Ever Upward, Ever Afloat is presented on the occasion of Queens International 2018: Volumes. The mixed-media collage and painting installation remains on view as part of Queens Museum?s series of contemporary works mounted in relation to the Relief Map of New York City?s Water System. A Works Progress Administration project commissioned for the 1939-40 World?s Fair, the Relief Map remains a symbol of the Fair?s optimistic focus on the future with the promise of new technology, infrastructure, and innovation. An incredible engineering feat at the time, the massive system of aqueducts it depicts still brings fresh water from the Catskills to the ever-growing metropolis of New York City; however its mechanisms remain largely unregistered in our daily consciousness.

The Queens Museum is dedicated to presenting the highest quality visual arts and educational programming for people in the New York metropolitan area, and particularly for the residents of Queens, a uniquely diverse, ethnic, cultural, and international community.

Location: New York City Building, Flushing Meadows, Corona Park, Queens, NY 11368
