The former Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital will open to the public for the first time in 60 years on October 1, for French artist JR's "Unframed — Ellis Island" installation, part of his "larger "Unframed" series that puts archival photos in new contexts in places like Marseille, France; São Paulo, Brazil; and Washington." The installation features original photos of patients and staff, blown up and positioned around the building. [NYT; previously]
