“Ludlow 38” in New York City launches new exhibition series with Lili Dujourie and Ion Grigorescu. MINI as the exclusive partner.

New York City. Between August 28 and October 11, 2009, Ludlow 38, the Manhattan art space of the Goethe Institute, presents works by Lili Dujourie and Ion Grigorescu, two accomplished and versatile European artists who have exhibited extensively in Europe since the late 1960s. The project, which is a collaboration with the European Kunsthalle in Cologne, marks the beginning of a series of exhibitions to be staged at Ludlow 38 and curated by the program team of the European Kunsthalle Cologne (Rike Frank, Anders Kreuger and Astrid Wege). Lili Dujourie is famous for her video works, photographic series and works on paper as well as her three-dimensional works. At Ludlow 38 she shows “American Imperialism”, a variable installation comprising steel sheets and a painted wall, as well as three collages from 1978. In addition, the exhibition features three films as well as some photographs and a preparatory drawing by Ion Grigorescu. Ludlow 38 is an initiative of the Goethe Institute in collaboration with the European Kunsthalle Cologne, which succeeds Kunstverein Munich as the art space’s curatorial partner for this year. The venue opened on February 8, 2008; it is situated at the center of the emerging gallery scene on the Lower East Side near Chinatown and just a short walk from the New Museum of Contemporary Art. Designed by artists Ethan Breckenridge and Liam Gillick, Ludlow 38 is to be understood as a satellite space for contemporary and innovative art. The exhibition space has been made possible through the collaboration with MINI. “Ludlow 38” is located at 38 Ludlow Street (between Grand and Hester Street), New York, 10002.
