A brief survey of friends' recent experiences flying through JFK include a public-transit nightmare trying to get there, a five-hour delay spent disassociating on a bench because nearby shops were closed or under construction, and a tale of lost luggage. Would a hanging art installation of clouds in dichroic plexiglass have helped in any of these situations? No, but one will be coming to JFK's Terminal One anyway.
The terminal, dubbed New Terminal One, is being developed by a company of the same name and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the region's transportation infrastructure including its three major airports. It is expected to cost $9.5bn, will begin to open in phases starting next year and, by the time it is complete in 2030, will span 2.6 million sq. ft.
We are incredibly proud to support their remarkable achievements and look forward to celebrating their ongoing contributions to the Canadian contemporary visual arts landscape in the months ahead.
