Aliza NisenbaumThe Ones who Make it Run (Delta Terminal C, LaGuardia Airport)
From Jun 1, 2022 Flushing Meadows Corona Park
A mural-scale painting of sixteen Delta and Port Authority workers, commissioned for LaGuardia Airport’s Terminal C.
Nisenbaum portrays pilots, flight attendants, police officers, firefighters, customer service agents, outreach staff, taxi dispatchers and maintenance workers who keep the terminal running. She spent long hours with her sitters as well as photographing them, and posed them in front of the terminal’s windows.
The current installation reproduces her oil painting; a final mosaic version was planned for 2024. The commission is a partnership between the Queens Museum, Delta Air Lines and the Port Authority.
