IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME: ICP ALUMNI EXHIBITION EXAMINING
PHOTOGRAPHY AND DOCUMENTATION OF MEMORY IN THE DIGITAL
AGE
Opening at the ICP School in Midtown in September 2017
NEW YORK, NY (August 31, 2017) – How has the act of remembering—and forgetting—been
transformed in the digital age? That question is explored in In Search of Lost Time, the new exhibition
opening on September 16 (through November 19) at the ICP School (1114 Avenue of the Americas).
Presented in the Rita K. Hillman Education Gallery, the show features the work of artists from 10 of its
full-time educational program graduating classes and is culled from completed, new, and evolving
projects.
The distribution of photography has exploded with newfound ubiquity, ushering in a paradigm shift that
bears semblance to that of the Gutenberg Press. In Search of Lost Time addresses photography’s
relationship with the concept of memory, which stretches its entire history and includes its every
iteration. And, as the degrees of separation between people decrease, so do those between past,
present, and future.
“The International Center of Photography is a place where tradition and progress have found a way to
coexist—informing the other and hybridizing in powerful ways,” says Miles Goscha, ICP alumni and co-
curator of the show. “This exhibition—featuring some of the best new talent to emerge in recent
years—looks at the transformative landscape of photographic practice and challenges the viewer to
rethink the concept of memory—how it has and will continue to change.”
In Search of Lost Time was curated by Goscha (GS 2016), along with fellow ICP alumni Mohamed
AlMannai (DOC 2016) and Mengwen Cao (NMN 2016/DOC 2017). It will feature the work of fellow
alumni artists, including Kinuko Asano, Sarah Blesener, Maria Bilbao•Herrera, Jeri Coppola, Camilla
Cerea, Marjolaine Gallet, Kasia Gumpert, Jhe Ming Hsu, Ivana Larrosa, Paula Lombardi, Stacy
Mehrfar, Caterina Miani, Cédric von Niederhäusern, Heather M. O’Brien, Un-hee Park, Laís Pontes,
Louise Prévert, Verónica Puche, David B. Smith, Daniel Temkin, and Eliso Tsintsabadze. Additional
collaborators include Pavel Filkov and Robert Langellier.

Fall 2017 Public Programs at the Guggenheim Museum
The Sackler Center for Arts Education at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum presents the
following public programs and film festival in conjunction with the exhibitions Mystical Symbolism:
The Salon de la Rose+Croix in Paris, 1892–1897 and Art and China after 1989: Theater of the
World. On the occasion of Archtober, New York’s architecture and design month, the museum offers
architecture-focused events and tours in addition to evening programming, including a special
Halloween iteration of Art After Dark.
Mystical symbolism program
Vexations
Tuesday, September 26, 7 pm–Wednesday, September 27, 1 pm
This durational concert presents Erik Satie’s Vexations (1893), featuring a roster of established and
emerging pianists from both classical and avant-garde spheres, including Timo Andres, Philip
Corner, Sylvie Courvoisier, Karl Larson, Anne Queffélec, Joshua Rifkin, and Margaret Leng Tan.
Satie composed this iconic piece on the heels of ending his involvement with the Salon de la
Rose+Croix. It is unknown whether Satie intended for the work to be played or if it was simply a sort
of jest directed at the esoteric excesses of Joséphin Péladan, the founder of the Salon. But the
unlikely piece attracted the attention of John Cage, who first staged it. Cage organized a concert in
New York in 1963 featuring contemporary musicians such as John Cale, James Tenney, David
Tudor, and Christian Wolff, among others. In observance of one of Satie’s instructions, the score
was repeated 840 times, lasting for almost 19 hours in an unprecedented serial undertaking that
echoed the Minimalist and Conceptual concerns of the 1960s. More than 50 years later, the
Guggenheim will once again present Vexations to a New York audience. A full list of performers and
schedule will be announced in September.
$15 (includes after-hours viewing of Mystical Symbolism: The Salon de la Rose+Croix in Paris,
1892–1897), $12 members, $10 students during after-hours portion of the program. Free with
admission during museum hours on Wednesday, September 27. For more information, visit
guggenheim.org/calendar.
This program is supported in part by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and the Consulate
General of Switzerland, New York.

Word on the Street
August 29, 2017 - February 2018
Amy Khoshbin, Anne Carson, Carrie Mae Weems, Wangechi Mutu
House of Trees
In partnership with House of Trees, Times Square Arts presents Word on the Street, a public art
commission of political and poetic banners created by female artists and writers that speak directly to
the urgent, timeless concerns of the individual, the community, and the requirements of citizenry.
The exhibition will appear on street pole banners and Bigbelly solar-powered trash and recycling
receptacles in Times Square from August 29, 2017 – February 2018.
Word on the Street is an ongoing text-based public art initiative produced by artist collective House
of Trees, consisting of original banners and signage designed by renowned female international
artists in collaboration with female refugee fabricators based in Texas. Artists and writers
include Anne Carson + Amy Khoshbin, Carrie Mae Weems, and Wangechi Mutu. The ongoing series
will continue with new notable female artists premiering original artwork for Times Square signage in
the spring of 2018.
Originally created from felt as wearable protest expressions during the Women’s March, the Word on
the Street banners and signage consist of a series of poetic political works that speak directly to the
moment. The project’s deployment throughout Times Square seeks to create a network of visually
disseminated texts that help articulate, empower, and support positive responses to the ever-
changing social and political landscape.
On September 7th from 12pm-1pm & 6pm-9pm, Times Square Arts and artist Amy Khoshbin invite
New Yorkers and Times Square visitors to Workshop on the Street, where they will create their own
wearable gear with phrases and iconography made from colorful felt in the form of banners, signs,
sashes, capes, or badges at the Broadway Plaza between 43rd & 44th Streets. This group is
encouraged to exhibit their signs around Times Square and transform these art objects into protest
materials for upcoming demonstrations or to wear simply as a celebration of free speech. Workshop
on the Street engages the community in social action and encourages a physical artistic response
alongside the Word on the Street banners. #WordTsq

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 23, 2017
NYBG’s 26th Annual Holiday Train Show® to Showcase Iconic
Skyscrapers and Architectural Wonders of Midtown Manhattan
November 22, 2017–January 15, 2018
Bronx, NY—The New York Botanical Garden’s Holiday Train Show® will showcase Midtown
Manhattan in the 26th year of this beloved tradition. New replicas of the Empire State Building,
Chrysler Building, General Electric Building, and St. Bartholomew’s Church from this celebrated
district will join NYBG’s collection of more than 150 New York buildings and landmarks made out of
plant parts and enlivened by large-scale model trains. Other visitor favorites include the Brooklyn
Bridge,Statue of Liberty, Grand Central Terminal, and the original Yankee Stadium. The Holiday
Train Show opens to the public on Wednesday, November 22, 2017 and runs through Monday,
January 15, 2018.
St. Bartholomew’s Church is located on Park Avenue, between 50th and 51st Streets. Often referred
to as St. Bart’s, the Byzantine Revival structure is made of limestone and pink brick. A massive tiled
dome, intricate stained-glass windows, and three sets of bronze doors designed by famous Gilded
Age architect Stanford White are other architectural details that inspire its Holiday Train Show
replica.
The General Electric Building, adjacent to St. Bartholomew’s on Lexington Avenue, features
elaborate Art Deco ornamentation depicting lightning bolts. The crown of the building’s octagonal
tower is lit from within each night.
New renditions of the Empire State Building—now with changing internal lighting schemes—and the
Chrysler Building will make their debut this year, adding wonder to the Midtown Manhattan
tableau.The Art Deco details of their façades, spires, and the Chrysler Building’s iconic sunburst
crown are n sure to be accentuated in the respective new replicas that will be on display in the
Reflecting Pool under the 90-ft.-high glass dome of the Palms of the World Gallery, alongside the Ed
Koch Queensboro Bridge.
In the Holiday Train Show, more than 25 G-scale model trains and trolleys will hum along nearly a
halfmile of track past re-creations of iconic sites from all five boroughs of New York City, the Hudson
River Valley, and other locations in New York State. Artistically crafted by Paul Busse’s team at
Applied Imagination, all of the New York landmarks are made of natural materials such as bark,
twigs, stems, fruit, seeds, and pine cones. American steam engines, streetcars from the late 1800s,
and modern freight and passenger trains ride underneath overhead trestles, through tunnels, and
across rustic bridges and past waterfalls that cascade into flowing creeks. Thomas the Tank
Engine™ and other beloved trains disguised as large colorful insects delight children as they zoom
by.
Advance timed tickets are strongly recommended and are available at nybg.org. Discounts

For Immediate Release
PUBLIC ART FUND ANNOUNCES ALL SITES FOR
AI WEIWEI’S 300+ LOCATION, FIVE-BOROUGH EXHIBITION
IN NEW YORK CITY, OCTOBER 2017
INCLUDING CENTRAL PARK, WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK,
AND THE UNISPHERE AT FLUSHING MEADOWS CORONA PARK
Ai Weiwei: Good Fences Make Good Neighbors October 12, 2017 –
February 11, 2018
Citywide August 22, 2017, NEW YORK, NY— Public Art Fund is pleased to announce new details for its
ambitious, multi-borough exhibition Good Fences Make Good Neighbors by Ai Weiwei, opening in October
2017 as the culmination of its 40th Anniversary year. Inspired by the international migration crisis and current
global geopolitical landscape, the exhibition will transform the security fence into a powerful social and artistic
symbol with interventions across the city.
Large-scale, site-specific, freestanding works will be installed at Doris C. Freedman Plaza at Central Park,
the Washington Square Arch in Greenwich Village, and the Unisphere at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in
Queens, in partnership with NYC Parks. These will be joined by site-specific interventions on top of and in
between private buildings located at 48 East 7th Street, 189 Chrystie Street, 248 Bowery, and The Cooper
Union for the Advancement of Science and Art at Astor Place; a series of new works at the New York City
Economic Development Corporation-managed Essex Street Market; and sculptural interventions around
10 JCDecaux bus shelters in partnership with the New York City Department of Transportation.
In addition to these sculptural works, Ai has created a new series of 200 two-dimensional works that will
appear in all five boroughs on lampposts banners. The artist will also showcase a new series of 100+
documentary images citywide on JCDecaux bus shelters and newsstands, as well as Intersection’s
LinkNYC kiosks; the photos were taken by Ai during his travels and ongoing research on the global refugee
crisis and will be 2 of 6 paired with poetic and factual texts to connect the very real stories of displaced people
from around the world to Ai’s symbolic interventions throughout New York City.
Each of the works will grow out of the existing urban infrastructure, using the fabric of the city as its base and
drawing attention to the role of the fence in dividing people. In doing so, the artist highlights how this form,
ubiquitous yet also potent, can alter how we perceive and relate to our environment.
Ai has particular empathy with displaced people. Growing up amid the upheavals of the Cultural Revolution, Ai
and his family were exiled to Shihezi, Xinjiang where his father, a renowned poet who had been branded an
enemy of the state, was made to clean the village’s communal toilets. Later he moved to New York City as an
art student in the 1980s and experienced life as an immigrant in the U.S., where he pursued an interest in
Western modern and contemporary art. Returning to China in 1993, Ai gained artistic success but also
notoriety for his presence on social media and for using his art and public platform to engage with pressing
political issues, eventually resulting in his 2011 arrest and detention by the Chinese government. Since the re-
instatement of his passport in 2015, Ai has traveled to refugee camps across the globe and has dedicated
much of his practice to bringing attention to the plight of displaced people, many of whom are victims of war or
acts of terror. This global issue has gained a different relevance in the U.S. in the wake of new policies on
immigration and border control, making the fence a particularly charged symbol of division and isolationism in
this country.
“Ai Weiwei is unique in having combined the roles of preeminent contemporary artist, political dissident, and
human rights activist in such a prominent and powerful way,” said Public Art Fund Director & Chief Curator
Nicholas Baume. “In many ways, Good Fences Make Good Neighbors is the culmination of his work to date.
It grows out of his personal experience of ‘otherness,’ his distinguished practice as both artist and architectural
designer, as well as his intensive research on the international refugee crisis and global rise of nationalism. At
the same time, his long and formative history with New York has been deeply influential in the development of
this exhibition.”
Since the late 1960s, experimental artists have used New York City as a canvas for their practice, intervening
with public plazas, buildings, the city’s infrastructure, unused and abandoned spaces and more, to explore new
ideas in public space and demonstrate the potential of the urban landscape to act as a platform for artistic
expression. Public Art Fund grew out of this impulse, 40 years ago. Working in this tradition and inspired by
minimal and conceptual artists of the 1960s and 70s like Richard Serra, Gordon Matta-Clark, and Trisha
Brown, Ai will create variations on the fence – from metal chain link to synthetic netting– to form interventions
that adapt to their sites, as if growing out of urban space and changing how we relate to the fence and our
environment. They will be installed in key locations around the city encouraging the public to engage with the
city through the eyes of the artist.
With both local and global resonances, Good Fences Make Good Neighbors utilizes diverse sites across the
city – in locations both iconic and community-oriented – that connect Ai’s personal story as an artist, activist,
and immigrant, to the broader history of immigration in New York. These locations also highlight the city as a
site for artistic intervention, and the charged socio-political moment reverberating around the world.
Good Fences Make Good Neighbors is Ai Weiwei’s largest and most ambitious public art exhibition to
date and will be on view October 12, 2017 – February 11, 2018, at sites across New York City.
This exhibition is curated by Public Art Fund Director & Chief Curator Nicholas Baume with the assistance of
Associate Curator Daniel S. Palmer. 3 of 6

Celebrating Forty Years of New Art and New Ideas, This Fall the New
Museum Will Look to Both Its Past and Its Future with a Diverse Line-Up
of Exhibitions and Programs, and Will Open a New Chapter in Its
Building Expansion
New York, NY…This fall, the New Museum will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a dynamic series of
exhibitions, programs, and publications. Honoring its rich legacy of advancing new ideas and promoting the
work of groundbreaking artists, the Museum will engage its past, present, and future with the launch of a
redesigned Digital Archive; a publication and exhibition exploring the Museum’s four-decade history; and a
two-day event bringing together in conversation a range of artists from the Museum’s first forty years. In
addition, the Museum will debut two new galleries as the first phase of an expansion, and will open the
exhibition “Trigger: Gender as a Tool and a Weapon,” which looks to the current cultural moment and
beyond, ushering in a new chapter in the institution’s history.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2017
PHASE ONE EXPANSION: New Museum South Galleries and Storefront Window
In September, the New Museum will debut the first phase of its expansion with two new galleries in its
adjacent building at 231 Bowery, connected to the Museum’s Lobby, along with a new storefront window
display. The Museum will announce further details on the second phase of its expansion into 231 Bowery
this fall.
EXHIBITIONS devoted to emerging artists Kahlil Joseph and Petrit Halilaj, both opening September 27, will
inaugurate the South Galleries, which are designated for premiering new productions at the Museum.
The South Galleries preserve the character of the 231 Bowery building’s original loft spaces, where many
artists worked and exhibited. Alex Da Corte will inaugurate the storefront window of the building with an
installation, the first in a new series paying homage to the window installations that the New Museum
mounted in the 1980s. Kahlil Joseph’s exhibition, the first solo presentation of his work in New York, will
debut a new film that draws inspiration from photographer Roy DeCarava (1919–2009) to consider the
dimensions of past, present, and future in Harlem and New York City.
Petrit Halilaj’s exhibition will present an ambitious new project that begins in Runik, Kosovo, the city in which
the artist was born and the site of one of the earliest Neolithic settlements in the region; it will trace residents’
recollections of remaining archaeological objects as personal origin stories. “Kahlil Joseph” is curated by
Natalie Bell, Assistant Curator, and Massimiliano Gioni, Edlis Neeson Artistic Director. “Petrit Halilaj” is
curated by Helga Christoffersen, Assistant Curator. “Alex Da Corte: Harvest Moon” is curated by Margot
Norton, Curator.
EXHIBITION: “Trigger: Gender as a Tool and a Weapon”
“Trigger: Gender as a Tool and a Weapon” is a major exhibition investigating gender’s place in contemporary
art and culture at a moment of political upheaval and renewed culture wars. The exhibition, occupying the
three main gallery floors, features an intergenerational group of artists who explore gender beyond the binary
to usher in more inclusive expressions of identity. The New Museum has been committed to urgent issues
since its inception, devoting many exhibitions and programs throughout its history to issues of representation
with regard to gender and sexuality, among them “Extended Sensibilities” (1982), “Difference” (1984–85),
“Homo Video” (1986–87), and “Bad Girls” (1994). Following in this tradition, “Trigger” extends the
conversation around identity, considering how even a fluid conception of gender is nonetheless marked by
ongoing negotiations of power and cannot be understood outside its complex intersections with race, class,
sexuality, and disability.
The exhibition will feature more than forty artists working across a variety of mediums and genres, including
film, video, performance, painting, sculpture, photography, and craft. Many embrace explicit pleasure and
visual lushness as political strategies, and some deliberately reject or complicate overt representation,
turning to poetic language, docufiction, and abstraction to affirm ambiguities and reflect shifting modes of
embodiment. Representing no single point of view, and in some cases presenting productively contradictory
positions, “Trigger” will assemble artists for their singular efforts in considering gender’s capacity to represent
a more general refusal of stable categorization—a refusal at the heart of today’s most compelling artistic
practices.
The exhibition is on view from September 27, 2017, to January 21, 2018, and is curated by Johanna Burton,
Keith Haring Director and Curator of Education and Public Engagement, with Natalie Bell, Assistant Curator,
and Sara O’Keeffe, Assistant Curator.
EXHIBITION: “Pursuing the Unpredictable: The New Museum, 1977–2017”
In concert with the Digital Archive relaunch, “Pursuing the Unpredictable” reflects on the New Museum’s
history as an alternative museum committed to art, ideas, and institutional practices at the forefront of culture
and discourse. The exhibition will present a timeline, designed by Project Projects, featuring highlights from
the Museum’s early years through the present, alongside key archival documents, videos, books, and audio
recordings that reflect the Museum’s consistent themes and discussions; these materials bear testament to
the institution’s ongoing inquiries into the role of art museums. The exhibition is on view from September 27,
2017, to January 21, 2018, and is curated by Alicia Ritson, Marcia Tucker Senior Research Fellow.
ONLINE: Launch of Redesigned Digital Archive
The New Museum will launch its redesigned Digital Archive in September 2017. Design studio Linked by Air
has crafted a bold new website that will present over 10,000 archival materials and objects that illustrate the
Museum’s distinct forty-year history and its role in advancing contemporary art. Beginning with an interactive
chronology and series of dynamic features, the new Archive will foreground the works of hundreds of
pioneering artists and tell a larger story about the changing landscape of contemporary art from the late
1970s until today. A leading digital initiative, the Digital Archive preserves the Museum’s institutional memory
while embodying its forward-thinking embrace of technology as a means of public engagement.
DECEMBER 2 and 3, 2017
ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND: “Who’s Afraid of the New Now? 40 Artists in Dialogue to Celebrate the New
Museum's Anniversary”
Over a weekend in December, the Museum will celebrate its anniversary by hosting an intergenerational
group of forty artists in conversation, with extended Museum hours and free admission. Among the
participants will be Paweł Althamer, Lynda Benglis, Judith Bernstein, Paul Chan, George Condo, Jeremy
Deller, Carroll Dunham, Hans Haacke, Sharon Hayes, Mary Heilmann, Carsten Höller, Joan Jonas, Mary
Kelly, Ragnar Kjartansson, Paul McCarthy, Donald Moffett, Linda Montano, Howardena Pindell, Faith
Ringgold, Dorothea Rockburne, Martha Rosler, Allen Ruppersberg, Anri Sala, Doris Salcedo, and Carolee
Schneemann, with the complete list to be announced this fall. The event is organized by Natalie Bell,
Assistant Curator; Gary Carrion-Murayari, Kraus Family Curator; Helga Christoffersen, Assistant Curator;
Massimiliano Gioni, Edlis Neeson Artistic Director; and Margot Norton, Curator.
PUBLICATION: 40 Years New
Edited by Lisa Phillips, Toby Devan Lewis Director, with contributions by Johanna Burton, Lauren Cornell,
Massimiliano Gioni, Joseph Grima, Julia Kaganskiy, Lisa Phillips, Ned Rifkin, Lynne Tillman, and Brian
Wallis. Co-published by Phaidon
A rich, illustrated history of the New Museum, 40 Years New captures the New Museum's legendary firsts,
major milestones, groundbreaking exhibitions, and prescient curatorial thinking. This book will provide the
first history of the bold and experimental spirit that makes the New Museum a model twenty-first-century art
museum. The book traces the Museum’s growth, from its beginnings in a loft in Tribeca to its current role on
the international stage. 40 Years New will be followed in spring 2018 by an edited volume of writings by
Marcia Tucker, the New Museum’s founding director, collecting seminal texts as well as unpublished essays
and lectures.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN:
"SPRINGSTEEN ON BROADWAY"
SOLO RUN AT NEW YORK’S WALTER KERR THEATRE
SET FOR FALL 2017
New York, NY (August 9, 2017) – Bruce Springsteen will make his Broadway debut this fall with Springsteen on Broadway, a solo show at the Walter Kerr Theatre (219 West 48th Street). Performances for Springsteen on Broadway begin Tuesday, October 3, with an official opening on Thursday, October 12. Springsteen will perform five shows a week through November 26th. Tickets for Springsteen on Broadway will go on sale August 30 at 10am ET exclusively through Ticketmaster Verified Fan®. This unique fan-first technology levels the playing field to combat bots and get real tickets into the hands of fans who intend to go to the event. Ticketmaster Verified Fan registration begins today and will close August 27. Verified fans will be notified August 29 for the August 30 onsale. Visit brucespringsteen.net/broadway for more information about how to pre-register.
“I wanted to do some shows that were as personal and as intimate as possible. I chose Broadway for this project because it has the beautiful old theaters which seemed like the right setting for what I have in mind. In fact, with one or two exceptions, the 960 seats of the Walter Kerr Theatre is probably the smallest venue I’ve played in the last 40 years. My show is just me, the guitar, the piano and the words and music. Some of the show is spoken, some of it is sung. It loosely follows the arc of my life and my work. All of it together is in pursuit of my constant goal to provide an entertaining evening and to communicate something of value,” says Springsteen. "Bruce Springsteen is one of our greatest musical storytellers, and Broadway is built on a beloved tradition of musical storytelling. What a once-in-a lifetime thrill for all of us at Jujamcyn to welcome Bruce home to his rightful place in the Broadway legacy,” says Jordan Roth, President of Jujamcyn Theaters, which owns the Walter Kerr. The creative team for Springsteen on Broadway includes Heather Wolensky (scenic design), Natasha Katz (lighting design) and Brian Ronan (sound design).

NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO PRESENT UNPRECEDENTED
EXHIBITION ON THE HISTORY OF THE VIETNAM WAR
The Vietnam War: 1945 - 1975
On View October 4, 2017 – April 22, 2018
NEW YORK, NY (August 4, 2017) – One of the major turning points of the 20th century, the Vietnam War
will be the subject of an unprecedented exhibition presented by the New-York Historical Society from
October 4, 2017 – April 22, 2018. Bringing the hotly contested history of this struggle into the realm of public
display as never before, the exhibition will offer a chronological and thematic narrative of the conflict from
1945 through 1975 as told through more than 300 artifacts, photographs, artworks, documents, and
interactive digital media.
Objects on display will range from a Jeep used at Tan Son Nhut Air Base to a copy of the Pentagon Papers;
from posters and bumper stickers both opposing and supporting the U.S. war effort to personal items left at
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC; from indelible news photographs (such as Eddie Adams’
Execution) to specially commissioned murals by contemporary artist Matt Huynh. While no gallery exhibition
can provide a comprehensive, global perspective on this vast subject, the materials brought together in The
Vietnam War: 1945 - 1975 will comprise a sweeping and immersive narrative, exploring, from a primarily
American viewpoint, how this pivotal struggle was experienced both on the war front and on the home front.
The Vietnam War: 1945 - 1975 was curated by Marci Reaven, New-York Historical Society vice president for
history exhibitions.
“The Vietnam War: 1945 - 1975 signals a new ambition for the New-York Historical Society, which is to
include in our exhibition program histories that are not only difficult but also as yet unresolved,” said Dr.
Louise Mirrer, president and CEO of New-York Historical. “This monumental exhibit challenges received
wisdom about the origins and consequences of the War, relying on sources only recently made available to
scholars as well as first person accounts of those who fought. As the exhibition shows, the War continues to
provoke debate and discussion today and to dominate much of our thinking about military conduct and
policy. The Vietnam War was the longest armed conflict of the 20th century, and today—more than 40 years
after it ended―it continues to influence both public policy and personal convictions. We are grateful for the
opportunity to offer the public a chance to better understand events and protagonists of the 20th century that
reverberate well into the 21st.”
Exhibition Overview
The Vietnam War: 1945 - 1975 sets the scene for the coming conflict through a display in an introductory
gallery, where texts and materials about the onset of the Cold War document how the U.S. and its allies
began to maneuver against the Communist bloc in regional confrontations after World War II while avoiding
head-on engagement between the nuclear powers. Objects on view include a series of oil paintings by
Chesley Bonestell imagining the destruction of New York City by Soviet atomic bombs and a newsreel from
1950 making the case for U.S. military action in Korea.
The exhibition then takes up the story of Vietnam by recalling the successful struggle of the Communist-
nationalist coalition Viet Minh to force France to abandon its claim to Vietnam, then part of the French colony
known as Indochina. Archival footage from a CBS News broadcast illustrates the “domino theory” put forward
by the Eisenhower administration in support of its desire to halt the spread of Communism in Asia, a mindset
which contributed to the partitioning of Vietnam into North and South. Among the objects representing the
experiences of the North Vietnamese and southern insurgents are a 1962 painting by the Hanoi-based artist
Tran Huu Chat and a bicycle of the sort used by North Vietnamese forces for transport of arms along the Ho
Chi Minh Trail. Also on view is a scale model of the USS Maddox, one of the destroyers involved in the Gulf
of Tonkin encounter with North Vietnamese forces in August 1964, which gave the Johnson administration
grounds for seeking Congressional authorization to increase U.S. military operations without a declaration of
war.
On July 28, 1965, President Johnson spoke to the nation on TV to explain that it was up to America to
protect South Vietnam and fight communism in Asia and that to be driven from the field would imperil U.S.
power, security, and credibility. He also announced a dramatic escalation in the military draft. Objects on
view, like an original draft card, and displays will address various responses to the draft, which affected all
men between the ages of 18 and 26. Archival footage of Johnson’s address announcing the doubling of the
draft will be shown. Artifacts, such as graffiti created by soldiers on their canvas berths, from the troopship
General Walker, which ferried draftees during the three-week voyage to Vietnam, will demonstrate the
personal side of soldiers as they headed toward war.
With this escalation of U.S. military involvement, the exhibition moves into a section that examines the
conduct of the war and its repercussions both in the field and among American civilians. Two large,
illustrated murals by noted artist and illustrator Matt Huynh, titled War Front and Home Front, depict key
aspects of the years 1966 and 1967. War Front depicts the four combat zones in South Vietnam to show
differing types of combat and highlight significant moments and battlegrounds. Home Front illustrates activity
in the United States, including the Spring Mobilization, the largest antiwar demonstration to that date in
American history, in which hundreds of thousands marched through midtown Manhattan on April 15, 1967.
The mural also shows a prowar demonstration from May 1967, and other scenes of the war’s impact on
national life. Interactive kiosks placed next to both murals bring them to life, allowing visitors to explore the
events depicted through videos and photographs. Notable objects displayed in this section include a poster
of a woman fighter in support of the southern insurgents, re-created by Tran Thi Van; helmets worn by U.S.
and South Vietnamese government soldiers, dog tags, military patches, and field implements; letters from
soldiers to their loved ones back home; a condolence letter on the death of a son; period magazines; posters
and buttons both demanding an end to the war and urging support for the military effort; and a recording of
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s April 1967 speech against the war.
The third major section of the exhibition focuses on the turning point of the early 1968 Tet Offensive, when
Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army forces called into question optimistic U.S. assessments of the
progress of the war by attacking targets in more than 100 cities and towns across South Vietnam. Using
archival film and photos, an animation, contemporary media publications, documents, and quotations, the
display establishes the chronology of the Tet Offensive, its coverage by the news media (including
photographs from the Vietnam News Agency of VC and NVA activities), and the offensive’s impact on
discourse about the war. The human cost of the Tet Offensive and other battles is also documented through
objects including surgical scissors, forceps, an Army Nurse Corps pin, and photographs of civilian refugees
from Hue. The ensuing political turmoil of the 1968 presidential election, in which America’s social, political,
and racial divisions boiled to the surface, is addressed by a commanding photo montage that also hosts
interactive components providing information about the presidential candidates. Audio elements include a
Nixon campaign commercial and a NBC report from the violent streets outside the Democratic convention in
August 1968.
Searching for an Exit surveys the final years of the Vietnam War: why the time period was so contentious
and divisive and how the war finally came to end. Although antiwar convictions intensified and grew more
widespread as the new Nixon administration took charge—as witnessed by materials from the nationwide
October 1969 Vietnam Moratorium—President Nixon also enjoyed strong popular support. Among the
objects on view are buttons with slogans such as “America Love It or Leave It” and “Free Lt. Calley Now,” a
photograph of the so-called “hard-hat” pro-war counterdemonstrators in New York City and one of the POW
bracelets distributed to raise awareness of the fate of U.S. military personnel held captive in North Vietnam.
Other key objects on display include a copy of the Pentagon Papers, published to explosive effect in June
1971; copies of popular magazines, with headlines including “Starting to Go Home”; a helmet liner from
Hamburger Hill; and a slideshow of artworks made by Vietnam War veterans. Original films, including one
featuring an interview with FedEx founder Frederick Smith discussing how his experience as a Marine
influenced the creation of the global courier service, will be screened in the gallery.
The exhibition concludes with a section reflecting on the aftermath of the war, including the construction and
dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, designed by Maya Lin. Among the items in this final section
are a bomblet from a U.S. cluster bomb, a celebrated Hugh Van Es photograph of the evacuation from
Saigon onto an Air America helicopter in April 1975, and a variety of objects that have been left in front of the
Vietnam Veterans Memorial, including a baby sweater, baseball glove and ball, a mini bottle of whisky,
playing cards, and letters addressed to the deceased.
The companion book The Vietnam War: 1945 - 1975, published by D Giles Limited, will be available in the
fall at the NYHistory Store and online.

MAYOR DE BLASIO LAUNCHES NYC FERRY SERVICE CONNECTING ASTORIA, ROOSEVELT ISLAND, LIC AND MANHATTAN
Inaugural trip departs from Astoria at 6:30 a.m.; NYC Ferry has served
over 1.5 million riders since boats first launched May 1
NEW YORK—Mayor Bill de Blasio today officially launched NYC Ferry's Astoria route, with the first trip departing from Astoria at 6:30 a.m. headed to Wall Street/Pier 11. The Astoria route connects residents and workers in Astoria, Roosevelt Island, and Long Island City to Midtown and Lower Manhattan, shortening commutes for thousands of New Yorkers. Passengers are also able to transfer free of charge to NYC Ferry’s East River, Rockaway and South Brooklyn routes at East 34
th Street and Wall Street/Pier 11.
NYC Ferry now carries approximately 12,000 daily riders, and the Astoria route is expected to add another 1,800 daily riders. Boats will run every 25 minutes during rush hours. Residents of Astoria Houses will be able to reach East 34
th Street in just 29 minutes, cutting those commuting times by nearly half. Detailed
timetables for the Astoria route, along with a map of all 2017 routes, can be viewed here. “The amazing success of NYC Ferry is a tribute to the can-do attitude of New York City and underlines the tremendous need to connect underserved communities to jobs, schools, health care and parks. We will continue to improve public transportation options and quality of life for all New Yorkers,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio. The opening of the Astoria Route follows the successful launches of the Rockaway and South Brooklyn Routes, and the integration of the East River Route. Combined, the routes have served over 1.5 million riders to date. Due to high demand, NYC Ferry recently announced that it will be adding capacity to three of its twenty boats. These new boats will be outfitted with bigger engines and a capacity of up to 250 passengers. “NYC Ferry is off to an amazing start, serving more than 1.5 million riders in less than four months,” said New York City Economic Development Corporation President and CEO James Patchett. “With today’s launch of the Astoria Route we’re expanding this great service to thousands of families in Western Queens and Roosevelt Island. New Yorkers that have faced limited access to public transit will now have a fast, comfortable, and affordable way to connect to good jobs and opportunities across the city.” “Once our best-kept secret, New York City’s waterways are becoming one of our most celebrated public assets. And aside from a waterfront park, there’s no better place to enjoy them than from a ferry,” said Parks Commissioner Mitchell J. Silver, FAICP. “NYC Ferry’s arrival this morning at Astoria, Roosevelt Island and Long Island City is a very exciting development,” said DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg. “Under the Mayor’s leadership, New Yorkers have been offered a new transportation option that is fast, affordable, and convenient – and with 1.5 million rides so far, commuters are clearly voting with their feet. Congratulations to our colleagues at EDC for reaching yet another great milestone this summer.” “The excitement and anticipation for ferry service has spread across New York Harbor and now with the launch of the Astoria Route, several additional communities, historically underserved by transit, now have a new affordable and efficient way to connect to Work. Live. Play,” said Cameron Clark, Senior Vice President for NYC Ferry Operates by Hornblower. “We are thrilled to launch the final route to complete
the 2017 expansion of ferry service, and we encourage all Riders to download the NYC Ferry app, hop on board and let us elevate your commute.” “Manhattan is the economic heart of our city, and every new transit link to and from Manhattan makes the city stronger,” said Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer. “Mass transit between many of the neighborhoods on this ferry route has become a crowded, complicated hassle, requiring two- and even three-seat rides on packed buses and subways. This new, one-seat ride to and from midtown and the Financial District could be a big help to commuters from Roosevelt Island and Western Astoria, and will be a boost to Roosevelt Island’s Cornell Tech campus.” “I am thrilled that the NYC Ferry Astoria Route is officially opening. With stops in Astoria, Roosevelt Island, Long Island City, East 34th Street, and Wall Street, this Route will connect many different communities in the 12th Congressional District which I’m privileged to represent. NYC Ferry service is a boon to commuters, tourists, and New Yorkers trying to experience a new neighborhood. I’m proud to work with Mayor de Blasio in support of expanding this important addition to New York City’s transportation options,” said Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney. “Increased access to reliable transportation options, including ferry service, is among the most critical needs for Western Queens’ residents. As we welcome new ferries, I will redouble my efforts to ensure our subway system improves during the current MTA crisis,” Senator Michael Gianaris said. “NYC Ferry is a true testament to the Mayor Bill de Blasio’s commitment to improve and expand public transportation. In less than four months, it has served more than 1.5 million riders and now it is coming to Roosevelt Island, which will greatly benefit from an additional mode of transportation. This is a tremendous investment in our transportation system that will provide much needed access to the waterfront communities,” said Assembly Member Rebecca Seawright. “Building resiliency and greater connectivity into our transportation network is key to a successful system," said Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez, Chair of the Transportation Committee. “With the inaugural ride from Astoria, residents from this great Queens community will have a faster ride into Manhattan that is fun too!” “The new Astoria ferry route will be life changing for the people of Western Queens, cutting travel time in half for many public housing residents and those living along the East River in Long Island City and Astoria,” Majority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer said. “I hear every day from my constituents of the need for reliable transportation options to get to work, school, and other appointments on time. Starting today, this new ferry route will bring a faster, smoother commute, and I’m thrilled to join my constituents today for the inaugural ride!” “I’m excited to join our community for this inaugural ferry ride along the Astoria route. After years of advocacy and planning with the neighborhood, we’re happy to open this new route. The NYC Ferry system expands public transit options for Western Astoria residents and will help revitalize Hallets Peninsula. Thank you to Mayor de Blasio for his bold vision in helping to ensure this innovative and sustainable form of transportation is available for Astoria,” said Council Member Costa Constantinides. “We are finally using our waterways to improve commutes for thousands of Roosevelt Islanders who will be able to take the new ferry. Roosevelt Islanders can travel by air (by tram), land (by car, bus, and train) and now water (by ferry), all offering improved commutes. After advocating alongside the community since before I got elected and continuing that fight for ferry service every day since then, I am proud to be a part of a City government that finally made it a reality,” said Council Member Ben Kallos. “Thank you to Mayor Bill de Blasio and Economic Development Corporation President James Patchett for reclaiming our waterways and bringing ferry service citywide.” “This new route, with a stop at the 34th Street hub in my Council District, is a great addition to New York City’s transportation network. I look forward to working with the de Blasio administration to ensure we continue delivering a superb, speedy, and safe transit option on our waterways,” said Council Member Dan Garodnick.
“On behalf of the Astoria Houses Residents Association, we couldn’t be more excited to welcome a new era of transportation to Hallet’s Cove today. The start of NYC Ferry service right across the street from Astoria Houses means that our residents will now have access to a fast, affordable way to commute to other parts of the city, especially to Midtown and Downtown Manhattan, and free transfers to other NYC Ferry routes. This is a win for Astoria residents, families and job seekers alike,” said Claudia Coger, President of Astoria Houses Residents Association.
“Cornell Tech is proud to be a part of the Roosevelt Island community, and the campus has committed $2.5 million to support the new NYC Ferry service to the island. The new ferry will provide another seamless connection for island residents, students, faculty, staff, the companies at The Bridge, and visitors to travel seamlessly between Roosevelt Island, Manhattan, and the growing tech community in western Queens. The Cornell Tech campus is all about openness and collaboration, and we can’t wait to welcome New Yorkers when we officially open next month,” said Meghan French, Senior Director of External Relations at Cornell Tech.
“Roosevelt Island is just that: an island. Linking it by ferry to the rest of the city is a goal that I have been personally working towards for over a decade, and this is a very exciting day. And just as exciting is that riders from Astoria, Long Island City, really anywhere in the city, can now commute downtown to Pier 11 by ferry, since all routes end on Wall Street,” said Jessica Lappin, President of the Alliance for Downtown New York.
“The Hunters Point Park Conservancy is happy to support NYC Ferry which help to alleviate the inundated 7 train. We look forward to welcoming NYC Ferry’s Astoria Route, and we appreciate the support NYC Ferry has provided the Hunters Point Park Conservancy,” Rob Basch, President, Hunters Point Park Conservancy. “The members of the Old Astoria Neighborhood Association view the Astoria Ferry essential in the mission to bring the quality of life in Old Astoria to the highest possible level achievable. Expanded transportation options will increase investment in infrastructure, private enterprise, cultural institutions, services, education, and all other components that create healthy communities,” said Richard Khuzami, President of the Old Astoria Neighborhood Association (OANA). “This expansion of the ferry system is tremendously exciting – providing key north south access for our residents, visitors and workers to all the great culture, jobs, restaurants, bars and waterfront parks – and access across the river to the great innovation opportunities at Cornell Tech and the medical corridor along the eastern shore of Manhattan all the way to Wall Street,” said Elizabeth Lusskin, President of the LIC Partnership, the local development corporation for Long Island City. “The success of the Hunters Point South ferry stop has shown how well this quick and enjoyable ride can bring LIC residents to the rest of the city, and the rest of the city to our community. The new LIC stop in Gantry Plaza State Park will be an essential gateway. This is a great ‘sea change’ for our neighborhood.” “Roosevelt Island residents have long hoped for modern Ferry service for our unique community and we are very thankful to the City for this much needed additional means of transportation. I am very excited the day has arrived to take our first scenic trip!” said Susan Rosenthal, President and CEO of the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation. “The Astoria Ferry is helping to better connect our waterfront spaces and communities to one another and to the City at large. Hallets Cove and the Hallets Point Peninsula are special and historic places in our community and the Astoria Ferry will shine a light on our special section of Queens,” said Katie Ellman, President of Green Shores NYC: It’s Your Waterfront. “The opening of the Astoria Landing is going to be major game changer in an area that has often been underserved and overlooked” said Bishop Mitchell Taylor, Co-founder and CEO of Urban Upbound. “The transportation disparities that Astoria residents have suffered will finally be relieved.” “Astoria residents have suffered too long in their transit desert, but a real oasis has appeared at last, with NYC Ferry offering fast and efficient waterborne transit to Manhattan. The new Astoria Route is one more
piece of the growing and popular citywide ferry network. Waterfront Alliance salutes the de Blasio administration for rolling out this new service on time and on budget. Bravo!” said Roland Lewis, President and CEO, Waterfront Alliance. “Manhattan CB1 is excited about the expansion of ferry service to Pier 11 in Lower Manhattan. This is evidence of the rebirth and vibrancy of this vital central business district. Using waterborne transportation has obvious advantages and we are encouraged by the expansion of public transportation,” said Anthony Notaro, Chair of Manhattan Community Board 1. “How many adjectives are there for wonderful? We are thrilled about the opening of the Astoria ferry landing. We are anticipating great success in Astoria and look forward to more ferries and more landings servicing NYC in the near future,” said Florence Koulouris, District Manager of Queens Community Board 1. Once the NYC Ferry system is fully operational, the combined routes will cover more than 60 miles of waterway at $2.75 per ride, the same cost of a subway ride, and the cost of a 30-day unlimited ferry pass will be $121, mirroring the cost of a 30-day MetroCard. This price builds on Mayor de Blasio's commitment to ensuring that NYC Ferry is affordable to New Yorkers. The two final routes, Lower East Side and Soundview, will launch next year. A recent survey conducted by New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) of over 1,300 riders found that 93% of customers gave NYC Ferry a satisfaction rating of seven or higher on a ten-point scale, with 66% giving the highest possible score. Findings also show that 87% of riders are New York City residents, with 85% of weekend riders and 90% of peak-hour riders residing in the five boroughs. NYC Ferry homeport construction is currently underway at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The 56,000-square-foot maintenance and storage facility will include berthing space for up to 25 boats, supplies and parts, and utilities, including a 40,000-gallon diesel fueling system. The homeport will also be the site for routine maintenance, including exterior and interior cleaning, restocking of food and beverage items, fueling, and basic repairs. It will be fully outfitted by early 2018. Additionally there will be a new ferry landing at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on the East River Route, slated to start service by fall 2018. NYC Ferry is hiring for various jobs, including captains and deckhands. Jobseekers can apply directly through Hornblower’s website, www.ferry.nyc. NYC Ferry will ultimately provide 200 jobs, all of which will pay the City's Living Wage or higher and includes comprehensive benefits. Ferry riders can download the NYC Ferry app to purchase e-tickets, allowing for easy scan-and-go boarding, get detailed maps and schedules, and receive real-time notifications and service alerts. Use of the app provides a more environmentally friendly service by reducing the use of paper tickets, although ticketing kiosks will also be available at each landing. The NYC Ferry app is live and available for download in both the Apple and Google Play stores. For those seeking inspiration for their NYC Ferry travels, NYC & Company has listed suggested places to check out by neighborhood at nycgo.com/nycferry and encourage sharing experiences on social media using the hashtag #seeyourcity.
