Artists Space Leaves Greene Street Location after Twenty-Three Years

The executive director and curator of Artists Space, Stefan Kalmár, announced yesterday that the nonprofit exhibition space will be leaving its current location at Thirty-Eight Greene Street, which it has occupied for the last twenty-three years, after the closing of artist Lukas Duwenhögger’s retrospective, which ends June 5, 2016.
Artists Space negotiated a buyout of its lease due to their landlord’s plans for a penthouse renovation. Though a new location has not yet been found, Artists Space will continue with its programming at Artists Space Books & Talks at Fifty-Five Walker Street.
Artists Space, along with several other arts organizations—Light Industry, Electronic Arts Intermix, Anthology Film Archives, Bidoun, Printed Matter, Danspace Project, Storefront for Art and Architecture, ISSUE Project Room, The Kitchen, Primary Information, Participant Inc, Recess, Sculpture Center, White Columns, and Triple Canopy—are working with a group of art historians, activists, and collectives on an exhibition which will analyze the repercussions of gentrification in New York since 2000.
