At the Queens, NY site of an old factory that used to manufacture glass and then doors, the Knockdown Center now wants “to inspire and host the most inventive, courageous and powerful projects it possibly can.” First on their slate was a mini-golf party which is continuing this Sunday night. Billed as the Outdoor Interactive Recreational Sculpture Park, the entire course was created by nineteen artists, designers and architects “inspired both by the whimsy of the sport and the formal possibilities of the course’s architecture.”
