Surprise 58 is dedicated to Hunter’s Point South Park, a park located on Long Island City’s waterfront in Queens, New York. Designed by the New York-based architecture firm WEISS/MANFREDI, the project transforms 30 acres of post-industrial waterfront into a program-rich public space that simultaneously acts as a protective perimeter for the neighboring residential community.
This issue was made during preliminary research on the park while working on a series of commissions curated by Standard Arts for Gotham Point, a new development part of the Hunter Point neighborhood plan.
Surprise 58, Hunter Point was part of the show:
Gathering at The Corner Gallery, Andes, NY, curated by Anne Couillaud.
