Last week for the East Village-wide exhibit 'Energies' at the Swiss Institute

You have until next Sunday to see the ambitious, East Village-wide "Energies" exhibit at the Swiss Institute. 

Here's more about the show, which opened in September: 

"Energies" is "an international group exhibition that unfolds throughout the entire building at 38 St. Marks Place and expands into numerous partner locations in the surrounding East Village community. The exhibition includes influential historic artworks alongside contemporary positions and new commissions that address ecological affordances and effects, social formations, and political arrangements attached to energy past and present." 

One of the pieces includes Gordon Matta-Clark's "Rosebush," which has been restored at its home since 1972 outside the St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery on 10th Street and Second Avenue. 

 The Art Newspaper recently published a piece on "Rosebush:" 

In a brief yet prolific career that ended with his death at age 35 in 1978, Gordon Matta-Clark responded to the neglect of New York City's urban environment with radical interventions, most famously colossal cuts in abandoned buildings. Much of his work was meant to be ephemeral, and little of it survives, especially in the places it was created. An exception is a small, rusted steel cage outside St Mark's Church in-the-Bowery. For years, it has stood unmarked and empty of the flowers it was intended to hold. 

"It is, we believe, the only existent work in an outdoor public space of Gordon's," says Jessamyn Fiore, co-director of the Estate of Gordon Matta-Clark. 

The reactivation event this past fall was a collaboration between the Swiss Institute, the Poetry Project, Danspace Project and St. Mark's Church. Read more here. 

The Swiss Institute, on the SE corner of Second Avenue and St. Mark's Place, is open Wednesday through Friday from 2 to 8 p.m., Saturday from noon to 8 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. 

There is no admission fee.
