Refuse Transformed: Reuse as Social Repair
installation view
Founded by philanthropists Shelley and Donald Rubin in 2010, The 8th Floor quietly and consistently hosts high quality, politically progressive art exhibitions and programs. In the space’s early years, its programming focused on Cuban art, but the 2015 hiring of Executive Director and Artistic Director Sara Reisman widened its range to encompass art and social justice in general. Reisman, who brings a sharp curatorial eye to her post, has overseen compelling exhibitions on topics such as AIDS, gender, health care, and race.
