266 W 25 St was an open, artist-run space to be activated by a series of short-term projects. We choose not to brand nor give 266 W 25 St a defined mission—opting instead to allow participating artists to craft not only their projects but also the institutions that will surround their work. For every event or presentation held at 266 W 25th St, an institution was designed to best fit the content of the showing. These institutions shifted from one to another, perhaps smoothly, perhaps abruptly.
Part of this project’s program is to temporarily realize these fictional insitutions through design and creative writing. Often this takes the form of a short-term website. After the exhibitions end, the websites are archived.
Below you can find some archived exhibitions:
