tribeca ISSEY MIYAKE, opened in 2001, is celebrating its 10-year anniversary as the site for the Miyake US headquarters and flagship store carrying all Issey Miyake collections. Featuring a titanium “intervention” or sculpture by Frank Gehry that winds its way through the space, tribeca ISSEY MIYAKE acts as a retail store, laboratory, and atelier; a place for new talent, the unexpected, and the excitement that lies within the power of creation. For these reasons, tribeca ISSEY MIYAKE often hosts up-and-coming and established artists, as well as lectures, and performances.

UROS HOUSE by Grimanesa Amorós

Uros House embodies the natural elegance of the sea foam, while maintaining the traditional technique and shape of the Uros islands houses. The structure seemingly arises from the ground as if it were one with the earth.

The Armory Show, Times Square Alliance, and Nina Menocal Gallery are presenting Uros House, a lighting sculpture by Grimanesa Amoros during Armory Arts Week at Duffy Square.

The Public Art Program in collaboration with The Armory Show exhibit four large sculptures by Grimanesa Amorós, Tom Otterness, David Kennedy Cutler, and Niki de Saint Phalle between March 1-7, 2011. The exhibition is made possible with the support of the Rockefeller Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and Artlog.com.
