Civic Action is an effort by the Noguchi Museum and Sculpture Park to expand the dialogue around recent developments in their local Long Island City neighborhood. Four artists known for their work in the public sphere were invited to form individual teams with architects or planners to conceive of artistic, environmental, and policy-based solutions for preserving the livability of Long Island City.
WXY acted as the project’s “urban strategist” and provided guidance to the teams. Additionally, Yeju Choi, an associate of WXY, was the Creative Director for WXY's work and directed and designed the exhibition graphics, website, and publications.
