About WhiteBox

An asystematic art space open to debate and dialogue inspired by human and cultural history concerned with art taking the pulse of the times, WhiteBox aims to deliberate the present while orienting itself towards a more just future where through site-specific exhibitions, performances, screenings, readings, lectures, and panel discussions, live and online, it can provide the art public and its surrounding communities with a unique opportunity to experience an artist’s practice in radical, meaningful and evocative ways. In doing so, WhiteBox is helping sustain a better society, righting political and environmental wrongs, in hopes to leave a “living” cleaner legacy to future generations.

EXODUS: Emigre Artists and the New York Vanguard

As we mark our 23th Anniversary in 2021, WhiteBox’s upcoming season honors and highlights in particular women artists and their participation from the traditional, domestic sphere, as well as fields where their trailblazing actions, often against the odds, led the feminist movement, constantly breaking old and new glass ceilings. With a particular emphasis on immigration, WhiteBox hopes also to further the intersectional conversations that emerge, by making visible the ways in which political boundaries are determined by gender, race, and social status. It is a continuation of a program presenting a series of exhibitions celebrating the spirit of international collaboration that has guided our programming for the past two decades showcasing in various forms and multifarious attitudes nascent cultural contributions of artists who have immigrated to New York City in search of new artistic communities, freedom of expression, the exchange of ideas, and greater visibility.
