While these artists focus on universally human themes, quieter, reflective explorations also emerge, embracing reaffirmation of community and identity, healing and determination.

	September 11 MoMA PS1 curator Peter Eleey brings together more than 70 works by 41 artists--many made prior to 9/11--to explore the attacks' enduring and far-reaching resonance. Eschewing images of the event itself, as well as art made directly in response, the exhibition provides a subjective framework within which to reflect upon the attacks in New York and their aftermath, and explores the ways that they have altered how we see and experience the world.
	9/11 Commemoration The New Jersey State Museum 9/11 Commemoration Committee is providing advisement on the development of a year-long calendar of statewide activities to honor the memory of the 9/11 victims while uniting New Jerseyans through programs which commemorate the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001. Key elements of the state's 9/11 observances include the opening of the New Jersey 9/11 Memorial in LIberty Park and the State Museum's exhibition, Remember 9.11: Reflections and Memories from New Jersey and related educational programming.
	Michael Ragsdale's 9/11: This is Personal In the chaotic days after 9/11, as New Yorkers struggled to make sense of the horrific tragedy, Michael Ragsdale wandered around the City collecting ephemera from vigils, lectures, and debates that followed the day that forever changed the world. For the next seven years, Ragsdales' life revolved around amassing and cataloguing his personal collection of September 11. This exhibition at Queens College Art Center, showcasing memorabilia as seen through the eyes of a collector, focuses on one individual's response to September 11.
