About Foundation 20 21

Foundation 20 21 is a New York based arts organization and collecting entity with a mission to nourish exchanges among artists, writers, filmmakers, historians and philosophers as well as to present to a wider audience some of the most arresting work being produced in our increasingly complex visual culture. While assembling a collection with an aim to build bridges between key developments in 20th and 21st Century art, Foundation 20 21 will mount occasional exhibitions of overlooked or forgotten work from the past in order to bring to light its relevance to our times. Shows of recent acquisitions, unusual publishing projects, artist presentations, lectures, film and video screenings will also be part of the program.

Founded by Tim Nye and Miguel Abreu as an outgrowth of Thread Waxing Space, the Soho art center which closed its doors in the Summer of 2001 after a ten year run, this new organization will focus on creating a congenial environment for the presentation of art and the debate of ideas. With an intimate exhibition space located in the National Arts Club, at 15 Gramercy Park South, New York, Foundation 20 21 was conceived to become a flexible cultural enterprise capable of quick responses and dedicated to the re-enchantment of art and the nurturing of vision.
