Review of MoMA QNS
This piece reveals that the absence of MoMA not only affects the merchants of Queens but also its residents. People who never before knew of MoMA were exposed to modern art and artists that would have otherwise remained unknown to them. This report is not just a study in economics but one of community. It reminds us of the responsibility insitututions have to community and it also questions the democracy of art. This is a perfect piece for Market Place, ATC or ME. It might be about Queens and MoMA but it absolutely transcends locale.
