The Christine Burgin Gallery collaborates with artists to realize individual projects. These have ranged from the reinstallation of Max Neuhaus' sound work for Times Square - now part of the permanent collection of the DIA Foundation -- to editions, installations and books with the artists Rodney Graham, Paul Etienne Lincoln, Michael Smith, Al Ruppersberg, Anne Chu, Matt Mullican and Allan McCollum. The gallery opened in 1986 with a program that included Chris Burden, John Cage, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Buckminster Fuller, Hamish Fulton, Maria Nordman, Alan Saret and James Welling as well as numerous historical exhibitions including, most recently, “No One May Ever Have this Knowledge Again,” an exhibition organized in collaboration with the Museum of Jurassic Technology in California and “Twixt Two Worlds” curated by the magician and collector Ricky Jay.
The gallery's most recent projects include the publications Robert Walser Microscripts, (co-published with New Directions); The Somnambulists and The Coney Island Amateur Psychoanalytic Society and its Circle both edited by Zoe Beloff, British Weathervanes by Rodney Graham; a series of prints with Paul Etienne Lincoln and the production of the installation Big Trouble by Allen Ruppersberg. Upcoming projects include The Adventures of the Dreamer by Albert Grass by Zoe Beloff and the publication of the first English translation of Paul Scheerbart's Das Perpetuum Mobile, a project conceived and illustrated by Josiah McElheny.
The gallery is open by appointment only.
