ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½

This original exhibition features works in the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Museum Collections by artists such as Marilyn Bridges, Louis Lozowick, and Andy Warhol, as well as works on loan from private collectors, other museums and artists. The focus of the exhibition is the transformation of Long Island over the decades, brought about by the construction of bridges, tunnels and roadways that provide direct routes to New York City. Issues addressed include the planning and development of suburbia, the long-term impacts on the environment, and contemporary challenges. In addition to works of art, the exhibition includes planning documents and archival photographs on loan from the Special Collections Department of the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Libraries.

This exhibition is made possible with funding from Astoria Bank and the National Center for Suburban Studies at ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½. 

Additional funding for this exhibition is provided by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
