Please come out for an Open House in LMCC’s Swing Space studios at 77 Water Street. Fourteen visual artists and one collaborative group have been occupying former bankers’ offices on the 10th floor of this Financial District skyscraper since June, developing new projects in a wide range of media. Come see the work they’ve created.

Resident artists include: Daniel Bejar, Joy Curtis, Elaine Gan, Donna Huanca, Lisa Kellner, Claudia Kochsmeier, Kymia Nawabi, Rosemarie Padovano, Shani Peters, Armita Raafat, REINIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT (Brian Block, Martin Keil and Henrik Mayer), Edward Schexnayder, Alison Ward, Saya Woolfalk, and Stella Yoo.

The Swing Space program works with downtown building owners to make vacant space available to artists, curators and arts organizations for project-based needs on a short-term basis. Since its launch in 2005, Swing Space has placed hundreds of artists in over 20 different spaces, including groundfloor retail spaces, gutted industrial spaces, upper level office floors, and subterranean bank vaults. Swing Space is designed to address short-term space needs for a wide range of projects, and to encourage creative, experimental and collaborative approaches to artistic practice in unconventional spaces.
