Tapestry: Weaving In & Out

A collaboration between No Longer Empty and El Museo del Barrio, the exhibition explores the interactions between the building space, a new environmentally-conscious rental building, and its surrounding physical and cultural contexts. Artists grapple with the current state of urban environmentalism, and allow for multiple, subjective experiences to coexist.

Drawings and sculpture made by artists from several generations, each with their own unique approaches to abstraction, are on view. Artists include Richard Artschwager, whose sculptures look like functional objects such as tables and chairs; Steve DiBenedetto, who is inspired by the glass architecture of skyscrapers; Mel Kendrick, who experiments with interior and exterior spaces, presence and voids; and Barry Le Va, who works with commonplace objects such as wood, felt, ball bearings, shards of glass, and chalk dust.

This multi-channel sound installation is a site-specific work commissioned for the High Line. It fills the 14th Street Passage with sound recordings of bells taken from around NYC and beyond. Sounds range from the New York Stock Exchange bell, the historic Dreamland bell days after it was discovered in the water off Coney Island, the United Nation’s Peace Bell, along with everyday and personal sounds.

Exhibit located in the High Line’s 14th Street Passage between W.13th and W.14th Streets

Like many major cities, NYC has a low per-capita ownership of automobiles. But surprisingly, it has played an essential role in creating today’s car culture; the car has helped, in turn, to shape modern NYC. Visionary drawings and models, historic photographs, films, and advertisements, and a wealth of car memorabilia tell this untold story.

This exhibition, with photographs, paintings, and works on paper by 27 artists, functions as a critical appraisal of land use across the country, as a document of the changing landscape vernacular, and as a celebration of the artists who take diverse approaches to capturing this genre.

More than 100 vintage and contemporary photographs from the NYC Parks Photo Archive and other collections are on view. They may be lush and green now, but at some point in their past, parks may have been warehouses, tenements, estates, reservoirs, landfills, cemeteries, or jails.
