"This Case of Conscience": Spiritual Flushing and the Remonstrance
Sunday, April 6 - June 29, 2008
In the new millennium, religion, its relation to the state and mutual respect are hot-button issues across the globe. In Flushing, Queens, this very conversation started 350 years ago with the Flushing Remonstrance. On view at the QMA from April 6 through June 29, 2008, "This Case of Conscience": Spiritual Flushing and the Remonstrance, explores the continued relevance of the historic document considered to be the precursor of the Bill of Rights within the vibrant and diverse neighborhood of Flushing. A document drafted and signed by 30 Flushing residents in 1657, the remonstrance to Governor Peter Stuyvesant denounced his persecution of the Quakers in Flushing and asserted liberty of conscience for adherents of all religions. The original document, on loan from the New York State Archive, will be showcased at the QMA where it will serve as a jumping off point for artistic examinations of contemporary spirituality.
In "This Case of Conscience": Spiritual Flushing and the Remonstrance, the QMA presents the work of nine artists and a salon style installation of photographs contributed by the public to bring the legacy of the Flushing Remonstrance to life. Five artists – Emmy Catedral, Takashi Horisaki, Sara Rahbar, José Ruiz, and Tattfoo Tan – were commissioned to create projects in partnership with or inspired by religious centers in Flushing while four photographers – Kim Badawi, Jenny Jozwiak, Stephanie Keith, and Scott Lewis – have captured the religious diversity of the Flushing community through their compelling works. A third key component of the exhibition is a salon-style installation of images depicting religious sites and celebrations in Flushing. An open call to photographers from all walks of life and religious persuasions has resulted in over 130 poignant images capturing the spiritual pulse of Queens including a Muslim street procession, a young girl resembling a Virgin Mary statuette and a man studying biblical text on his laptop.
R. Scott Hanson, Ph.D, a scholar of American religion, immigration and urban history, vividly showcases Flushing's religious legacy in 203 Places of Worship in Flushing (as of 2007), a color-coded map revealing a vast religious landscape. Hanson has also contributed an illustrated timeline that traces both religious and immigration-related events in the area spanning the mid-17th century to the present.
The Flushing Remonstrance is on loan from the New York State Archives, a program of the New York State Education Department.
"This Case of Conscience": Spiritual Flushing and the Remonstrance has been made possible with support from the Lily Auchincloss Foundation. Additional funding provided by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and New York State Council on the Arts. More information is available here.

Back on the Map: Revisiting the New York State Pavilion at the 1964/65 World's Fair
On view through May 4, 2008
The Texaco Road Map is the large-scale terrazzo art pavement commissioned for the New York State Pavilion. Designed by renowned American architect Philip Johnson for the 1964/65 World's Fair, the Pavilion is located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, next door to the Queens Museum of Art (former home of the New York City Pavilion). Commissioned by Governor Nelson Rockefeller, the New York State Pavilion featured a complex of structures: a Theaterama building, three observation towers, and the "Tent of Tomorrow," a 12-story, open-air elliptical pavilion capped by the World's largest suspended cable system roof fitted with colored acrylic panels. For the floor of the "Tent of Tomorrow," Johnson commissioned the largest-known representation of any area of the earth's surface: a 130-foot-by-166-foot terrazzo replica of a Texaco New York State road map. A fusion of Pop Art imagery and traditional craft techniques, the map pavement was a crucial component of "The Tent of Tomorrow." In addition to the works of Pop artists Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and others displayed on the exterior of the adjoining Theaterama, the Road Map helped solidify the Pavilion's status as a landmark of 60s avant-garde culture.
Built as a temporary structure for the Fair, the Texaco Road Map along with the Pavilion has suffered from over 30 years of weather exposure and vandalism. This year, however, the Map returns to the spotlight for a long-overdue comeback. Back on the Map aims to inform and engage the public about the significance of this historic gem. A culmination of conservation activities by the City of New York Department of Parks & Recreation in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania School of Design Graduate Program in Historic Preservation, the exhibition at the Queens Museum of Art will features restored sections of the Road Map and elaborate the project findings through text panels and an interactive website. Visitors can also witness the restoration process up close as conservators restore portions of the Road Map in the Museum's galleries.
Back on the Map is supported by The National Endowment for the Arts, The Samuel H. Kress Foundation, New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, and the School of Design, University of Pennsylvania.
Anthony Auerbach, Empire State Pavilion
On view through May 4, 2008
Anthony Auerbach's installation Empire State Pavilion reflects on one of the most memorable features of the 1964-1965 World's Fair. Like the New York City Pavilion (now home to the Queens Museum of Art), which housed the "Panorama of the City of New York," the New York State Pavilion contained a miniature representation of the whole state in the form of a giant road map inlaid in the terrazzo floor. While the Panorama has been preserved and updated over the years, the terrazzo map became derelict and overgrown.
Adopting techniques of aerial photography–as used by geologists, archaeologists, cartographers and spies–the artist documented the entire surface of the terrazzo map from a height of seven feet. The survey resulted in some 2,500 detailed images of a map in the process of reverting to a landscape. Auerbach's current installation invites the viewer to look–inspect and decipher the material preserved in the artist's photographic archive. The installation comprises 3 works configuring the archive material in different ways: Emperor Panorama, 2007, consisting of 6 light-tables and a stereoscope that magnifies the road map, The State of New York, 2006, a fake projection of the interior of the NYS Pavilion showing the survey in process, and an untitled video projection showing the antique city-states and former colonial capitals such as Troy, Athens and Rome which can be found upstate.
The project speculates on how history is recorded–in traces and inscriptions–and how it is erased. As Auerbach suggests, "The map is memorable because it remained after the rest of the Fair was demolished. Exposed, shattered by frost and colonized by plants, the map marked the time and prompted feelings for the past. Ironically, the first thing the conservators did was sweep away nearly all the history which my survey recorded."
Anthony Auerbach is supported in part by the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs and New York State Council on the Arts.
