In 2004, the dormant TWA Flight Center terminal designed by Eero Saarinen at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)briefly hosted an art exhibition called Terminal 5,[1] curated by Rachel K. Ward. [2]
Following TWA's continued financial deterioration during the 1990's and eventual purchase by American Airlines, the Saarinen designed terminal ended operations in October 2001,[3] and entered a period of disuse. The City of New York had designated both the interiors and the exteriors of the Saarinen terminal a historic landmark in 1994[4] and in 2005 the National Park Service listed the Trans World Flight Center on the National Register of Historic Places.[5]
Featuring the work of 19 artists from 10 countries[6][7] including Jenny Holzer, Dan Graham, Vanessa Beecroft, Tom Sachs, Tobias Wong, Douglas Coupland, Mark Handforth, Anri Sala, Sean Linezo, Sean Linezo, Jonas Mekas, Aleksandra Mir, Jonathan Monk, Toland Grinnell, Kendell Geers, Ryoji Ikeda, and Jennifer & Kevin McCoy.[2]
The theme of the show featured work, lectures and temporary installations drawing inspiration from the terminal's architecture
[8][7] — and was to run from October 1 2004 to January 31, 2005[7] — though it closed abruptly after the building itself was vandalized during it's opening gala.[9][2][10]
