Brant Foundation Art Building
Located on New York s East Village, this careful, contemporary intervention into a 1920s ConEd substation introduces galleries on four floors while retaining the building’s industrial ethos. The 16,000 SF structure was also the home and studio of artist Walter De Maria from the mid-1980s until his death in 2013. This new gallery is a perfect complement to the Brant Foundation’s Greenwich, CT, Art Study Center completed by Gluckman Tang in 2009.
The building’s open plan is the ideal space for art installations, especially large-scale paintings and sculpture. Many of the historic features - including the landmarked north façade, steel and wire-glass interior stair, manually operated 50-ton gantry, and historic brick were retained and restored.

The New York based Richard Taittinger Gallery is presenting today the grand opening of acclaimed Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos, internationally recognized for her large-scale art installations.
One of the most prominent visual artists in the world, Vasconcelos’s work consists of transforming everyday objects in inventive and unexpected ways. She creates traditional clichés of her Portuguese cultural heritage with humor, provocation, irony and sensuality. Her unconventional, “bigger than life” baroque installations are symbolic and imaginary.
She has created public works of art in more than 35 countries and has been the subject of more than 500 exhibitions.
This is not her first exhibit in the United States. Last year she was invited by the The MassArt Art Museum (MAAM), the Boston’s new contemporary art museum, to create a large-scale, site-specific installation for its inauguration on February 22, 2020.
