Artists Space opens new venue in Tribeca, designed by Bade Stageberg Cox

For its new home in Tribeca, Artists Space turned to BSC, where our design sensitively bridged the organization’s radical legacy with the material history of its cast-iron building, originally constructed in 1867. Working closely with executive director and chief curator Jay Sanders, principal Martin Cox—a board member and longtime collaborator with artists—led a renovation that emphasized subtlety and intentional restraint. “The challenge was how to make it look like we did very little—but, basically, we had to do everything,” explained Sanders.
