This exhibition presents new concepts for New York’s most iconic mode of transportation, the taxi cab, as it approaches its centennial in 2007. Organized by the New-York-based non-profit organization, The Design Trust for Public Space, in cooperation with Parsons, the project brings together leading artists, designers, public officials, transportation experts, and taxi industry representatives to rethink and transform the New York City taxi. The exhibition will present new concepts for improving the taxi, which were generated through workshops held this past spring. Designing the Taxi addresses not only the design but the complex economic, social and cultural issues associated with the taxi, such as energy efficiency, accessibility for the disabled, and other quality-of-life concerns.
Gallery hours: Mon - Fri, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Sat - Sun, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.; Closed Major holidays.
