Terminal 5 was an art exhibition that took place in October 2004 at the then disused Eero Saarinen–designed TWA Flight Center at New York's JFK Airport.[1][2]
The City of New York had designated both the interiors and the exteriors of the Saarinen terminal a historic landmark in 1994[3] (the building ultimately to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places),[4] but following TWA's continued financial deterioration during the 1990s and eventual purchase by American Airlines, the Saarinen-designed terminal had ended operations in October 2001[5] and entered a period of disuse.
Curated by Rachel K. Ward,[6]Terminal 5 showed the work of 19 artists from 10 countries[7][8] including Jenny Holzer, Dan Graham, Vanessa Beecroft, Tom Sachs, Tobias Wong, Douglas Coupland, Mark Handforth, Anri Sala, Sean Linezo, Jonas Mekas, Aleksandra Mir, Jonathan Monk, Toland Grinnell, Kendell Geers, Ryoji Ikeda, and Jennifer & Kevin McCoy.[2]
The exhibit included sculptures, audio installations, lectures and temporary installations drawing inspiration from the idea of travel as well as the terminal's architecture.[8][9] Planned to run from October 1 2004 to January 31, 2005,[8] it closed abruptly after the opening event when a runway-side door was opened by a guest — thereby breaching airport security and creating a public risk.[2][10][11]
Terminal 5 was selected for Artforum's "Best of 2004".[citation needed]
