History edit

The Swiss Institute was founded in 1986 by a group of Swiss expats looking to highlight their country’s artists and culture.[2] It originally had headquarters at the Swiss Townhouse at 35 West 67th Street. It moved to the third floor of the New Era Building at 495 Broadway in Soho in 1994.[3]

From 2011 to 2016, the Swiss Institute was located in a 460 m2 (5,000 sq ft) space at 18 Wooster Street.[4][5] During that time, it showed its inaugural design exhibition in 2014.[6] In addition to hosting art exhibitions, the space became the venue for the fall/winter 2016 presentation of New York City-based accessories brand Mansur Gavriel, which enlisted a handful of collaborators to turn the space into a domestic scene.[7]

From 2016, the Swiss Institute staged shows at Swiss In Situ, a temporary 460 m2 (5,000 sq ft) space at 102 Franklin Street in TriBeCa.[8]

Since 2018, the Swiss Institute has been located in a 700 m2 (7,500 sq ft) space at 38 St. Marks Place and Second Avenue. Formerly a bank, the four-story building was re-designed by Selldorf Architects and includes exhibition space, an education and public programs floor, a library, and a usable rooftop. Exhibitions include visual and performing arts, design, and architecture, with public programs spanning a wide range of topics. SI also has weekly public programming and education classes. Admission is free.

Printed Matter, Inc. St. Mark’s bookstore is located on the ground floor.[9]
