Most people don't know or think about the Queens Museum of Art, but years ago I went to a retrospective of conceptual art there that really belonged at MoMA. QMA is now showing Queens International 2006: Everything All at Once.
"Queens International 2006 is the third installment of the Queens Museum of Art's biennial survey of Queens-based artists. This year, 52 artists and two collaboratives weigh in on American culture, the politics of war, contemporary feminist issues, spirituality, the environment and a host of other subjects close to the hearts of many local residents.
The show opens on October 1, but the true opening reception is Sunday, October 8, 3-6 pm and is always an event to remember."

Sounds interesting. Who's the artist of the picture above?
Good question. I should be more careful when I’m “borrowing” images. This is Orly Genger, a twenty-something artist who crochets her sculptures out of yarn and even industrial materials.
