Projects 77 presents fifteen newly commissioned billboards designed by Sarah Morris, Julian Opie, and Lisa Ruyter, on display from October 7 through December 1 in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood and Long Island City, Queens. Set amid the bustle of New York City, this group of billboards invites unexpected encounters with art in what might be termed an outdoor urban gallery.
