How to trace downtown experimental art without backtracking
Three close-set downtown galleries for a focused contemporary circuit.
The Tribeca gallery circuit
Artists Space Experiments
Tucked into 11 Cortlandt Alley, Artists Space is a historic nonprofit gallery built around experimental art and high-caliber poetry readings. It also creates room for critical discussions by underrepresented creators and for public performances. The agenda can cross disciplines quickly, so follow the experimental program first and let its questions set the tone.
Kreps Across Floors
Andrew Kreps Gallery presents thought-provoking international art across grand, multi-level spaces. Its downtown footprint includes 22 Cortlandt Alley and 394 Broadway, with another destination in Claverack. Rather than treating the locations as interchangeable, compare Cortlandt Alley with Broadway and notice how each setting changes the encounter.
Art Projects' Asian Voices
On the ground floor at 434 Greenwich Street, Art Projects International brings contemporary artists from Asia into conversation with established international voices. Its exhibitions draw from the gallery's represented artists, giving the route a focused final lens. Close on the Asia-focused exhibition and consider the dialogue across regions.
