White Columns Benefit Exhibition

White Columns is New York’s oldest alternative art space. Founded in 1970 by Jeffrey Lew and Gordon Matta-Clark as an experimental platform for artists and originally located in SoHo (where it was known as the 112 Workshop/112 Greene Street), the organization was renamed White Columns in 1979. White Columns presents an ongoing program of exhibitions, projects, talks, screenings, and events. It is a not-for-profit gallery which is open to the public, free-of-charge, eleven months per year. Over the past forty-six years, hundreds of artists have benefited from early exposure and support at White Columns, including Gordon Matta-Clark, Barry Le Va, Kiki Smith, William Wegman, Sonic Youth, Jack Goldstein, David Wojnarowicz, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Cady Noland, ACT-UP, and Glenn Ligon, among many others.
