Counter Culture

New Museum, New York

At various locations on and around the Bowery

Counter Culture is organized by Melanie Cohn, Curatorial Coordinator of the Newn Museum of Contemporary Art.

A seek-and-ye-shall-find exhibition for the adventurer in all art lovers, Counter Culture partners contemporary artists with shopkeepers near our future home on the Bowery. Through site-specific installations by six New York based artists, visitors will be taken on a journey to examine the zones of exchange and cultural diversity surrounding this unique neighborhood. A self-guided walking tour will take people on a path to the "interventions" installed throughout the bodegas, kitchen and restaurant supply stores, Noho boutiques and other local businesses that make up this historical area of Manhattan.

Participating artists include Flux Factory, Ricardo Miranda Zuñiga, Jean Shin, Julianne Swartz, Marion Wilson, and Raul Vincent Enriquez, who has created a narrative-based walking tour for the exhibition that is available as a downloadable MP3 on the New Museum’s website.


A series of guided tours will offer a personal look at the exhibition while allowing visitors to familiarize themselves with the new neighborhood of the New Museum. Each tour will be led by the exhibition curator and one of the participating artists.

The tours are scheduled from 2-3:30 pm on Saturdays from July 10 through August 14, 2004. The meeting point is the New Museum's future home at 235 Bowery, at Prince Street.
