No Longer Empty: This Side of Paradise

Built as a refuge for elderly rich folks who had lost their fortunes (really), the Andrew Freedman Home on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx is currently hosting This Side of Paradise, a site-specific installation put on by the artists' group No Longer Empty (which fills unused spaces --- like Tower Records --- with temporary exhibitions). Featuring work by more than 20 artists, This Side of Paradise explores the tensions between this peculiar bit of the Bronx's past and its contemporary circumstances.
