An independent nonprofit exhibition space at 97 Kenmare Street in Manhattan, founded in 1982 by Kyong Park with R.L. Seltman and Arleen Schloss in a small storefront on Prince Street. In 1993 the organization commissioned a collaboration between artist Vito Acconci and architect Steven Holl to redesign its own narrow triangular facade into a set of rotating perforated panels that fold open onto the street, blurring the boundary between the gallery and the city; planned as a two-year installation, the facade has remained in place since 1993 and was restored in 2008.
