THE KITCHEN

The Kitchen began in 1971 in "the kitchen" at the Mercer Art Center by Steina and Woody Vesulka to present videos - an art form which at that time was not being given serious attention in most museum exhibitions, In 1973 it moved to SoHo where it included music and sound compositions by artists such as Laurie Anderson, John Cage, and Philip Glass. Within a short period of time it also began to present performance art, dance, film and literature as well as exhibitions of the visual arts.

The Kitchen is currently located at 512 West 19th street.
