Overview

Tribeca club remembered for elaborate, regularly changing themed installations that blurred nightlife and art.

Area is remembered for reinventing its interior around a new theme every few weeks, commissioning artists to build immersive environments. It is often cited as an example of nightlife treated as a curatorial practice. The Hudson Street building has since been redeveloped.
