Stairmasters Williamsburg Brooklyn NY

stairway exhibitions open

Stairmasters, a four floors permanent art installation, is  the third art space for Holland Gallery that Paulien Lethen started. It was launched in 2003 in the hall and monumental four-flight staircase of the brownstone next to Holland Tunnel Gallery. For a Williamsburg curators’ art weekend, gallery director/curator Paulien Lethen wanted to do something outstanding to present her stable of artists. She used the just restored hall and staircase as an additional exhibition space. From 2003 on, Lethen presents long-term exhibitions in Stairmasters. The artworks are installed from the ground to the top floor, inviting visitors to have some physical exercise while looking at the exhibition. The current show Framed, with a play on the double meaning of the word, features works by 110 artists, This mega group show includes a number of the 700 artists that have participated in exhibitions since the opening of Holland Tunnel Gallery Williamsburg in 1997.
