Tour: Swiss Institute
Construction has wrapped up at the new East Village home of the Swiss Institute, a New York-based non profit dedicated to contemporary art. Renovation of the 7,500 sf former bank building was led by Selldorf Architects and offers spaces for exhibitions, projects and public programs, a library, a bookstore, and a public rooftop. The opening exhibition, "Readymades Belong to Everyone," is the third edition of SI's Architecture and Design series.
