The space, located at 154 Ludlow Street, is on the same block as the Ludlow Hotel, restaurant Dirty French and a planned Soho House expansion.

The new gallery features 20-foot ceilings, allowing for large-scale installations, and was designed by studioMDA, the firm behind Paul Kasmin Gallery and 303 Gallery. [NYP] – Christopher Cameron
