Human Resources takes into account elements of human exchange that many LMCC resident artists have explored while working downtown.  Selected artworks recall David Rockefeller's founding of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council shortly after the Twin Towers were built, when the council's initial purpose was to humanize the architecture of the World Trade Center Plaza that many area workers found intimidating.

[More about OUT of SITE]

*@SEAPORT! presented by General Growth Properties

In 1997, the World Trade Center gained a new group of tenants: artists. Over the past 10 years, LMCC’s residency program, now called Workspace has provided free, temporary studio space in Lower Manhattan to over 250 emerging artists and writers in such locations as the Woolworth Building the U.S. Custom House. Our mission to place artists in studios just blocks from Wall Street has changed what it means to “work” downtown.  Invited curators explored the vast archive of the LMCC residency program and came up four diverse exhibitions, combining artists from various years, locations and mediums. Out of Site is a series of guest curated exhibitions and special events that takes artists’ work out of the studio and brings audiences to several locations downtown to explore the program’s past and present.
