White Columns

White Columns is New York's oldest alternative art space. It was founded in 1970 by Jeffrey Lew and Gordon Matta-Clark as an experimental platform for artists.

Originally located in SoHo (and known as the 112 Workshop/112 Greene Street), the organization was renamed White Columns when it moved to Spring Street in 1979. In 1991 White Columns moved to Christopher Street in the West Village, and in 1998 the gallery relocated to its present address on the border of the West Village and Meat Packing District. White Columns presents an ongoing program of exhib

itions, projects, talks, screenings, and events. It is a not-for-profit gallery which is open to the public, free-of-charge, eleven months per year.

🍥🦢CURRENTLY ON VIEW AT WHITE COLUMNS🍥🦢:

John Maclean

White Columns is proud to announce the first solo exhibition by the London-based, Scottish artist John Maclean. Maclean studied at London’s Royal College of Art between 1994 and 1996. He was a founding member of the legendary group The Beta Band (1996-2005), for whom he also directed a series of brilliantly idiosyncratic videos. In 2009 Maclean directed his first short film ‘Man On A Motorcycle’ starring Michael Fassbender. His feature film ‘Slow West’ was released to wide critical acclaim in 2015. After a long hiatus John Maclean returned to painting during the pandemic and started to post images of the resulting works to his Instagram account.

Exhibition Dates: March 19–April 30, 2022
Tuesday - Saturday / 11am – 6pm
