MoMA PS1 est l'une des plus anciennes et des plus importantes institutions à but non lucratif consacrées à l'art contemporain aux États-Unis, fondée en 1971 par Alanna Heiss dans un ancien bâtiment scolaire public de Long Island City, dans le Queens. Affiliée au Museum of Modern Art depuis 2000, elle défend une création expérimentale, émergente et transgressive à travers les galeries labyrinthiques, les escaliers et le sous-sol de son bâtiment historique en briques. L'institution est connue pour son exposition récurrente Greater New York, panorama des artistes locaux, sa série musicale estivale Warm Up, et l'installation permanente Meeting Skyspace de James Turrell. Depuis janvier 2026, l'entrée est gratuite pour tous.
