There is an exhibition up at Terminal 5 which I just heard word has to close because it is too popular (read port authority shut it down because of security?).
From MUG (pre-opening):
Back to the art. "Terminal 5" is also the name of the exhibit that begins October 1 and runs through January 31, 2005 (Tues-Sat, 12-6, voluntary donation) that will use Saarinen's building for a site-specific exhibition. Curated by Rachel K. Ward, you'll find major artists responding to the site with works reflecting on the "transitory nature of travel, architecture and contemporary art," according to Ms. Ward's exhibition statement.

Jenny Holzer will work with the famous arrivals and departures board. Toland Grinnell's fabulous trunks will grace the luggage carousels. British artist Jonathan Monk considers travel as narrative, using postcards, slides, and photographs. Douglas Coupland designs imaginary machines using the shapes of aircraft equipment. In all, twenty artists from ten countries. Plus, mixed media installations, live performance areas, footage of the airport as the terminal was being built, a gift shop, events and lectures.
