Art Eastward: Queens

There are only three stops I sometimes make for art in Queens: PS1, Sculpture Center and Queens Museum.
I had no idea until I received a reminder of the new exhibition's opening at Y Gallery, located off Nothern Boulevard in Jackson Heights and my friend and I found the space after about 15 minutes walk from the 7 train stop, 82nd Street.

They had a room-sized installation work by the Mexican artist Teresa Margolles having a large square canvas and a
light beige color carpeted floor. The gallery curator Ms. Cecilia Jurado (next to the canvas in the photo) explained us that the stains on the canvas were actually blood extracted from the street in Mexico. The artist addresses the current drug-related violence in the country in her work. More info: http://www.ygallerynewyork.com/01exhibit.htm
I liked the space so well as the interaction between the blood stained canvas and seemingly a square drainage on the floor
(shown partially in the photo). Looking forward to seeing more exhibits over there.
