About the Gallery
Founded in 1986, Swiss Institute is an independent non-profit contemporary art institution dedicated to promoting forward-thinking and experimental art-making through innovative exhibitions and programs. Committed to the highest standards of curatorial and educational excellence, Swiss Institute serves as a platform for emerging artists, catalyzes new contexts for celebrated work, and fosters appreciation for under-recognized positions. Open to the public free-of-charge, Swiss Institute seeks to explore how a national perspective can foster international conversations in the fields of visual and performing arts, design, and architecture. In Spring 2018, Swiss Institute will open its new long-term home in the East Village, moving into a building at the corner of St. Mark's Place and Second Avenue whose renovation is being overseen by Selldorf Architects. The 7,500-square-foot space features four levels, with spaces for exhibitions, projects and public programs, a library, a bookstore, and a rooftop garden.

Her recent collaboration with the Swiss Institute for the Independent Art Fair in New York this past weekend found her branching out for the first time into fashion.
Every art organization aims to get visitors in the door, but that’s not enough. Museums and galleries increasingly seek to connect with audiences well beyond their walls — leading them to grapple for attention on Facebook and YouTube, wherever eyeballs can be reached.
The design for the new building will feature space for exhibitions, projects, public programs, a library, bookstore, and a useable rooftop.
