This event has ended.

PS160 is an immersive architectural installation that will take place inside the Clemente Soto Vélez Center. Created by artist Gabrielle Mertz and commissioned by Artists Alliance, the project utilizes a choreographed series of light and sound projections located throughout the Clemente building to construct a performative experience of the architecture. The installation references structural and design elements of the Dutch Neo-Gothic landmark, as well as the building’s history within the Lower East Side neighborhood, original function as a school, and later use by artists and community members. The event also celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Law, which helped to catalyze the architectural preservation movement in the United States.

Commissioned by Artists Alliance Inc.
Sound Design: Quentin Chiappetta
Lighting Design: Miriam Crowe
