Smack Mellon is pleased to present Site 92: Phase II. In this incarnation of Site 92, an exhibition series that focuses on installation art, artists once again respond to Smack Mellon’s unique home at 92 Plymouth Street.

92 Plymouth Street, once known as the Gair Boiler Building, provided steam heat and power for neighboring buildings owned by Robert Gair in the early 1900’s. Today the remarkable industrial space provides artists with a distinctive point of departure for their site-specific installations. Situated on the park between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, Smack Mellon’s home is an exciting space full of history and architectural details: a 75-foot long coal trough braced to the ceiling by seventeen 18-foot high concrete and metal pillars running through the center of the gallery, two levels of 8-foot tall windows providing a dramatic view of Manhattan and the East River, as well as 6,000 square feet of gallery space and a 35-foot soaring ceiling. Combined, these elements provide opportunity for artistic exploration on an unparalleled scale.
