Artists Space's Underground is a mixed media installation by Brooklyn artist Gail Rothschild. It is the second exhibition in our recently established downstairs gallery space, Underground. This space was initiated to create more exhibition opportunities for artists in the Artists File and to have an area for a more immediate atmosphere and programming schedule.
