Bitforms gallery

The bitforms gallery is a gallery in New York City devoted to new media art practices.

History

Founded in 2001, bitforms gallery is engaged in the visual discourse of new media culture, with a contemporary focus. The gallery’s program draws upon a diverse range of disciplines and intellectual perspectives while maintaining a clear progressive thread. Supporting mid-career and historic figures as well as emerging artists, bitforms gallery works with a roster of artists who participate in leading international exhibitions.

Spurring the growth of institutional collection of ephemeral and media-based work, the gallery has placed pieces in exhibitions and collections at the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C.; Tate Modern, London; The Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester; the City of San Jose; Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis; and Borusan Contemporary, Istanbul. The gallery also works closely with a wide range of corporate and private collections.

In September 2014, bitforms gallery relocated from Chelsea to the Lower East Side in a ground-level storefront space on Allen Street.
