Civic Action

Edited by Julie Iovine
This publication represents the third component of the three-part art and urban-planning initiative Civic Action presented by the Noguchi Museum and Socrates Sculpture Park. For Civic Action, the museum and sculpture park engaged four artists—Natalie Jeremijenko, Mary Miss, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and George Trakas—to lead teams to develop new approaches for growth in the Queens neighborhood in which the two institutions are located and which they helped to shape.

With more than 140 illustrations and eight essays, centered on rich photo-spreads featuring the work of each of the four artist-led teams, this book is intended to continue and expand the dialogue about the diverse neighborhood and ways in which it might at once develop and maintain its unique character.

Michael Joo's Prepositional, 2008, produced by Plaxall, represents the first in a series of specially commissioned projects that pairs Socrates' artists with local Long Island City manufacturers. This Project is a forum to highlight and acknowledge the wealth of expertise, resources, and inginuity that local manufactures contribute to the Park's resident artists, and to explore the potential for formal creative partnerships between them.
