Projects 195: Park McArthurThe Museum of Modern Art, New YorkOctober 27, 2018 – January 27, 2019Park McArthur makes work that often responds to the institutional and architectural context of exhibition spaces. Projects 195: Park McArthur takes shape against the background of the Museum’s ongoing west-end expansion, which is scheduled for completion in 2019 and will add gallery space in an adjacent, newly developed tower with 145 private luxury apartments above the Museum.McArthur worked with a fabricator to produce a modular, stainless steel structure which will be rearranged several times over the course of the exhibition. It doubles as an exploratory proposal for a mixed-use building with artist studios, a public gallery, and below-market apartments for disabled and non-disabled people who mutually receive and provide care. Also comprising works on paper, and an audio guide, Projects 195 focuses on the social realities and possibilities within the architectural parameters of site and scale.While this presentation is number 109 in the Projects series, the artist changed this count to 195, as MoMA held 86 Projects exhibitions before introducing the numbering system. A work in its own right, this alteration draws attention to the Museum’s standardized institutional language, which McArthur has compared to “a frame through which the exhibition arrives”—it contains the work and shapes how we view it.Organized by Magnus Schaefer, Assistant Curator, Department of Drawings and Prints, with Tara Keny, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Drawings and Prints, The Museum of Modern Art, New York -

Park McArthurWelcome to PS1, 2015Digital C-print9 ½ × 12 inches (24.13 × 30.48 cm) (framed)This photograph was made for the Museum's lobby—the place where the story of important or representatives moments in the history of PS1 unfolds. The photograph depicts a banner, found all across the Long Island City area of Queens, which espouses ownership as a creative force. The banner is flanked by two of the area's main actors: a glass skyscraper and a condominium building under construction. Together, the banner, the skyscraper, and the condominium stage a drama familiar to residents living in many of the world's urban centers: that of the financialization of place and the reconstitution of neighborhood through the instrumentalization of arts and culture.Greater New York, MoMA PS1, Long Island City, New York, 2015Installation view -

Park McArthurPosey Restraint, 2014Posey Restraint48 × 35 ¼ inches (121.92 × 89.54 cm)There are alternatives to restraint use. There is a "one hour" rule. Restraints are used when someone living in a hospital or medical institution is said to be in extreme danger of injury to themselves or others. They are intended to "help control combative patients." The restraint is secured to a hospital bed's frame and is a "one size fits all" standard.Greater New York, MoMA PS1, Long Island City, New York, 2015Installation view -
