The Swiss Institute / Contemporary Art New York (SI) is an independent non-profit contemporary art organization. Swiss Institute is currently operating as an itinerant organization, programming offsite exhibitions and projects at a variety of locations in New York and beyond. A new permanent home for the institution, currently under renovation at 38 St Marks Place in the East Village, Manhattan is scheduled to open in Spring 2018. The organization's goal is to explore how a national perspective can foster international conversations.[1] Exhibitions include visual and performing arts, design and architecture, and admission is free.
The Institute occupied the third floor loft of the New Era Building from 1994 until 2011. The one-room space was used as a gallery featuring primarily Swiss and other European contemporary artists,[2] with a goal of promoting "cultural dialogue" among Switzerland, Europe, and the United States, and interaction among the Swiss community and other communities in New York. The space, constructed to museum-quality standards by the firm Pagnamenta & Torriani, was also frequently used for concerts, talks and other events.[3][4]
Swiss Institute will move to a former bank at 38 St. Marks Place at Second Avenue. The 7,500 square foot space, designed by Selldorf Architects, is on four levels: basement, ground, second floor, and roof. The design for the building will include spaces for exhibitions, projects and public programs, a library, a bookstore, and a usable rooftop.[5]
