“Loft In The Red Zone” is a traveling multimedia art installation taking place this September in NYC and traveling to Moscow, Russia. In the late 1990ʼs, many artists could still be found in downtown Manhattan. They were living, working and creating in Tribeca, Soho, Little Italy, Chinatown, Battery Park and The Financial District. Tragically many of these artists suddenly found their studios, homes and lives destroyed by 9/11. In the aftermath, these neighborhoods soon became known as “ The Red Zone”. |

Loft In The Red Zone: A Tribute to September 11th
Leave Blank
“Loft In The Red Zone” is a traveling multimedia art installation taking place this September in NYC and traveling to Moscow, Russia.
In the late 1990ʼs, many artists could still be found in downtown Manhattan. They were living, working and creating in Tribeca, Soho, Little Italy, Chinatown, Battery Park and The Financial District. Tragically many of these artists suddenly found their studios, homes and lives destroyed by 9/11. In the aftermath, these neighborhoods soon became known as “ The Red Zone”.
Yet, out of the ashes the artists arose and reacted as only artists do. They began to create art.
“Loft in the Red Zone” is a multi media art exhibition and installation created to honor the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. It is also an illustration of the powerful part art can play in the healing process after personal and global devastation. The exhibition will be showcased in a re-created space, mirroring the typical post 9/11 live/workspace of artists in lower Manhattan. Covered in ash and burnt paper, the loft will contain over 26 pieces of artwork including works by such esteemed artists as Brenda Beckman, Ultra Violet, Soundwalk Collective, and Marty Abrahams.
All of the artists are local and international NYC artists who were living in or around downtown Manhattan during the September 11th attacks. While, pouring pain, loss and sorrow into their work, many of the artists felt relief. They saw that by creating art they were telling their story and giving a voice to their many emotions. Ultimately, they were also beginning the healing process.
“Loft In The Red Zone” will open in lower Manhattan, NYC on the week of 9/9/2011. The installation will then travel to Moscow, Russia at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (http://www.mmoma.ru) This momentous exhibit will be open to the public until 9/30/11.
