"For the last several weeks a group of more than 30 artists — some well
known, like Mel Chin, Sylvia Plachy and Bronx veterans like John Ahearn
and the collective Tim Rollins and K.O.S. — have been at work in the [Andrew Freedman Home], turning old bedrooms and bathrooms into installations that mine

An exhibition of the pieces — organized by No Longer Empty,

to one of the city’s stranger Gilded Age palaces for the first time." (Via New York Times. Read More >>)
