NEW YORK (Reuters)-the September 11, 2001 attacks were more disaster witnessed in history, even to capture its impact, a new exhibition is not art, photos or music portraying that fateful day.

Works in the show, "September 11," open on Sunday at MoMA PS1 in New York, reference the towers of the World Trade Center or to a blue sky and sunshine reminiscent of that day, but let viewers make their own connections to the deadly attacks.

In fact, most 70 or more works on display at MoMA PS1, satellite location of the Museum of modern art in New York City's Queens, were made before 2001.

Selected from a long strip of contemporary artists, with some work dates back to the 1960, the exhibition is intended to shoot, memories and emotions, 10 years after planes collided with the twin towers, bringing it down and killing thousands of people, without addressing this day explicitly.

"There were some things that we do not want to see, I think in part because of how much we were forced to do," said the PS1 MoMA curator Peter Eleey, describing the challenge of mounting an exhibit of art about the tragedy as well documented.

The torrent of images from the September 11, said Eleey, "drastically complicated how art could answer."

Thus, he preferred to avoid showing it directly.

Trustees installed an audio recording of 1999 called "World Trade Center recordings: winds after Hurricane Floyd" by artist Stephen Vitello boiler room in the basement of the Museum.

The recording is of mysterious squealing and moans of skyscrapers as they were struck by a hurricane.

An untitled work of 2008 by artist Roger Hiorns consists of mounds of dust silver engine passenger aircraft sprayed spread on the floor in a seemingly random.

A photograph by the American artist William Eggleston a hand spinning an ice-cold drink in colorful cabin of a plane can sunny bring to mind as a normal flight turned into a hellish nightmare. The photo, "Untitled (glass in aircraft)" is the Decade of 1960.

The show also includes a light installation by James Turrell American artists and works of Diane Arbus, Alex Katz and Ellsworth Kelly. It ends in January 9, 2012.
