In tandem with our current exhibitions, here is an overview of what some of our SoHo neighbors are showing!
 
Located at 393 West Broadway, "Walter De Maria: The Broken Kilometer" is an ongoing exhibition at the Dia Art Foundation.
 
One feels isolated upon entering the space, in contrast to the physical location, which is in the heart of hectic SoHo. As a companion piece to De Maria’s Vertical Earth Kilometer (1977) in Kassel, Germany, The Broken Kilometer has been on long-term view to the public since 1979. The room is filled with 500 highly polished, round, solid brass rods, each measuring two meters in length and five centimeters in diameter. In five parallel rows of 100 rods, each rod is placed such that the spaces between the rods increase by 5mm with each consecutive space, from front to back. As a minimalist as well as land artist interested  in site-specificity, De Maria makes visible the tension between inside and outside, public and private. Here, the primary experience is not only through the act of seeing, but also psychological.
