PS1 Contemporary Art Museum, Queens

One subway stop from Manhattan, the PS1 museum is easily accessible, inexpensive (get a free admission on the back of your MoMA admission), and stimulating. The recent Scandinavian modern art exhibition is unique and diverting, especially the white rabbits and the video of the lasso guy. The huge mirror by Eliasson is amazing in its ability to change your perspective. And check out in almost "The Matrix" bullet time fashion the 360 degrees of weapons from the perspective of the attacker (what a power trip!) and the victim.

I regret having missed the other Eliasson exhibits -- notably those with water. I was only able to see photos of them in a book at the store.
