Emptiness | Queens Museum 2019 site-specific wall drawing, 176 feet long (54 mts); Queens Museum, New York

“…Glexis Novoa draws dreamy cities on marble panels with graphite, also adorning the museum’s walls with site-specific doodles worth looking out for… ”

-Will Heinrich, The New York Times

“… Glexis Novoa’s site-specific Emptiness: Queens Museum, 2019. Novoa hand-drawn directly on the walls, with a pencil, a series of gently fabulized, tiny but thrillingly detailed NYC architectural cityscapes.There are bridges and monuments, the ruins of the 1964 World’s Fair adjacent to the Queens Museum, even the newly opened Hudson Yards (…). Around and between the individual cityscapes are numerous rockets, drones and bombs flying through the “air,” falling, surveilling. ”

-Beck Feibelman, The Clyde Fitch Report
