Artists Space announces a series of artists projects in its room 207. The project shows provide artists with a space in which to do installation-type works and to present them to the public. Without such a space, neither the realization of these works nor their public exposure would be possible.

In Guidelines, Krzysztof Wodiczko's viewer operated slide installation, the artist employs images of art and Eastern European propaganda to convey his philosophy of "social verticality, horizontality and diagonality." Wodiczko has been working with these ideas for several years. The project will run from April 29 to May 13.
