They’re baaaaaaaaack. PS1 Warm Up parties return under ‘Public Farm One’

Nothing marks the arrival of summer in LIC quite like the PS1 Warm Up parties. If there is any entity that can lay claim to putting LIC on the mainstream radar, it’s PS1. While many complain about the nuisance factor of the Warm Up party attendees’ disruptive passage from PS1 to Water Taxi Beach in their endeavor to continue partying, it’s really a cool event. This year, the courtyard installation kicks up more than a few notches with an urban farmland installation entitled ‘Public Farm One’. Aka P.F.1.

Having checked out the installation sans throngs of swaying hipsters and un-hipsters, it’s definitely a must-see. But if you only make it over to PS1 for the Warm ups, you’re not missing out, and here’s this year’s summer schedule. Enjoy. Indeed.

Here’s a couple more shots:
