"P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center and the Public Art Fund present Navin Rawanchaikul: I © Taxi Cafe. With humor and an unorthodox spirit, the sprawling, interactive I © Taxi Cafe takes art at P.S.1 beyond the museum walls and into surrounding communities. Through extensive interviews with cab drivers from Long Island City companies, Rawanchaikul has created a comic book that was to be distributed free in 220 taxis at P.S.1. and at Madison Square Park. Rawanchaikul's taxi cafés have been constructed at P.S.1 and in the revitalized Madison Square Park, at 23rd Street, between Fifth and Madison Aveunes, as part of Public Art Fund's Target Art in the Park contemporary art series.

"Navin Rawanchaikul was born in 1971 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Past exhibitions include The 2nd International Taipei Biennial, Taipei, Taiwan (2000), 11th Biennale of Sydney, Sydney, Australia (1999), and "Cities on the Move" Curated by Hou Hanru and Hans-Ulrich Obrist (1998). Other projects include "Navin & His Gang (Visit) Vancouver", Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, "Navin Cooperative Society: Sap-Da-Ruam-Tuak Tuk-Tuk-Koan-Muang" in collaboration with Rirkrit Tiravanija and 20 Tuk-Tuks (1997).
