Time Equities Inc. (TEI) is committed to enriching the experience of our properties through the Art-in-Buildings Program (AiB). AiB is an innovative approach that brings contemporary art by emerging and mid-career artists to non-traditional exhibition spaces in the interest of promoting artists, expanding the audience for art, and creating a more interesting environment for our building occupants, residents, and guests.
Art-in-Buildings was founded in 2000, with an inaugural exhibition at 125 Maiden Lane in New York City. The early exhibition history at 125 Maiden Lane includes work by Steven Siegel, Jon Isherwood, Alain Kirili, John Cross, and a survey of Sol LeWitt’s sculptural maquettes, among others. From this auspicious beginning, AiB has expanded to include rotating exhibitions and permanent installations at numerous sites in New York City and beyond. Art-in-Buildings is directed by Tessa Ferreyros.
The following works are on permanent display throughout 1000M, alongside rotating exhibitions in the Art Gallery space.

Ron Klein: Power of the Small, 2023-24
Appropriated objects
144 x 121 1/2. x 24 in.
Level 1 East Lobby
Ron Klein chooses images, icons, and things that seem to exemplify a particular quality in and of themselves. The objects that he selects come from the culture of nature and humans. Both are borderless and are rooted in human and natural conditions. The smallest molecular structures of these objects are a source of infinite strength, generating the larger world in which we live. The power of these tiny particles creates our physical realities. Klein believes that by observing and organizing these small visual components, he may find my own connection to the larger world.

Jon Isherwood: The Earth laughs, 2020-21
Rosa Portogallo and Breccia Viola Marble on a stone base 57 x 87 x 50 in.
Born in Britain, Jon Isherwood studied art at Leeds College of Art in Leeds, England and earned a BA with honors from the Canterbury College of Art in Canterbury, England. He later completed his MFA at Syracuse University in Syracuse, NY. In the early 1980s, Isherwood constructed multi-part steel and cast concrete assemblages that drew formal parallels to the work of Anthony Caro and David Smith. By the 1990s, Isherwood turned his attention to stone.
Isherwood currently resides in the United States and has participated in solo and group exhibitions at venues on three continents, some of which include: C. Grimaldis Gallery, Baltimore, MD; Peggy Guggenheim Museum, Venice, Italy; Denver City Art Museum, Denver, CO; Omi Sculpture Park, Omi, NY; Kunsthalle, Manheim, Germany; Hertogenbosch, Holland; Hualien County Cultural Center, Taiwan; and many galleries in the New York City and Chicago areas. In 2003, he was awarded an honorary doctorate in Fine Arts from the University of Plattsburgh, NY. He has also received fellowships from the Jerome Foundation and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. His work is featured in the collections of the International Sculpture Center II, Washington, D.C.; Krasel Art Center, St. Joseph, MI; the Schwenfurth Museum, Auburn, NY; and in many university collections as well. Isherwood’s most recent sculptural endeavors combine the use of computer numerical control technology with hand craftsmanship to produce what are described as “tumescent vessels.”

Damaris Pan: Male Male, 2023
Oil on Canvas
77 x 51 in.
Level 3 Elevator Landing
Damaris Pan lives and works in Bilbao. Her paintings reveal a peculiar language of shapes, densities, and colour palettes whose outcome is not subject to specific themes. Along with her clear concern for materiality and corporality, Damaris Pan works with persistence on the possibilities of constructiveness, going for the autonomy of the pictorial work. This way, she claims art as a place for knowledge from experience, from where she questions the limits of the pictorial and life.
Among her most recent exhibitions is worth mentioning the solo shows ‘Un martillo en la cabeza’ at Ana Mas Projects (Barcelona, 2022), ‘Veri Pery’ at Halfhouse (Barcelona, 2022), ‘Cuernos a la Vista’ at BilbaoArte (2020), the duo Sugaar with Fiona Mackay at the Cibrián gallery (Donostia, 2021), and the group show ‘Turno de Réplica’ at Patio Herreriano Museum curated by Javier Hontoria (Valladolid, 2021). She has recently been awarded the Gure Artea 2021 Prize, in the category of recognition of artistic practice. In addition, in 2021, she was one of the recipients of the annual Eremuak’s Artistic Practice Grant.

Sara Emerson: (l–r) It Had Been Like Dying, 2019; I Have Never Seen the Moon Yet, 2019; This is Given. It is Not Learned, 2019
Monotype on curved panel, oil-based inks, Rives BFK heavy-weight white paper
each 29 1/4 x 20 3/4 x 2 1/4 in.
Level 8 Elevator Landing
Sara Emerson's experience with printmaking has driven her towards collaborative creative endeavors with others—master printers, print publishing houses, nonprofits, educational institutions, and artists from around the world. She studied as an apprentice printer at Overpass Projects, joined the printmaking department as a technician at Williams College, and completed Tamarind Institute’s Lithography Intensive in 2021.
Sara’s work speaks to the borderlands of the seen and the unseen, inhabiting a world where the tangible and the imagined converge. Her prints explore the delicate interplay between the ephemeral and the eternal. She embraces minimalism and abstraction, creating moments of stillness and introspection. A defining aspect of her work is the use of gradients, which embody the ambiguity and depth of the human experience, allowing for an exploration of the Indefinite and the Sublime.

Joanna Przybyla: Sculpture Drawing 1, 2018
Chromogenic print, acrylic on alu-dibond, weathered wood
110 1/8 x 157 3/8 in.
Level 8 Grant Park Lounge
After completing dual study in the Visual Arts and Music colleges in Opole, Joanna Przybyla attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan, at the Faculty of Painting, Graphic Design and Sculpture. She graduated with distinction in 1984. Her work reveals her multiple interests through a variety of media: installation, photography, design, drawing, sound, and architecture. The artist’s observations of nature are reflected in the way she introduces light into her work. Her installations in public spaces are monumental, always closely related to the structure of architecture. The artist’s most recent projects explore how sound moves through the different membranes of architectural spaces. Through contiguous compositions, she reveals the many facets hidden in buildings.

Yoojin Cho: Swinging
Oil on Canvas
63 3/4 x 44 in.
Level 8 Grant Park Lounge
Yoojin Cho's whimsical oil paintings draw inspiration from abstract expressionism, employing generous brush strokes and gestural mark-making. Cho's use of color takes cues from the likes of Helen Frankenthaler, building up sheer washes of paint overlaid upon one another to create complex layers of color. Born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, Cho's compositions seek to echo the sophisticated and diverse sensibility of the city and the people that inhabit it.

Judy Pfaff: Time is Another River, 2012
Honeycomb, cardboard, expanded foam, plastics, fluorescent light
68 x 68 x 14 in.
Level 8 Grant Park Lounge
Referenced by critics as a pioneer of installation art, this oft-cited label for the sprawling career of Judy Pfaff provides an introductory sense of Pfaff’s legacy, but proves limiting to the ever-changing work she has been making for decades and still today. Born in London in 1946, Pfaff received a BFA from Washington University, Saint Louis (1971), and an MFA from Yale University (1973), where she studied with Al Held. Her work spans across disciplines from painting to printmaking to sculpture to installation, but is perhaps best described as painting in space. These spatial paintings inhabit and transform their environments, becoming ad hoc homes for viewers and the artist. Drawing upon a wealth of spiritual, botanical, and art historical imagery, Pfaff’s installations simultaneously and without contradiction reference the austerity of a cathedral and the temporality of a mandala.
Like a mandala, the life of Pfaff’s work is brief and burning, deconstructed, and sections discarded after a show comes down.

Margaret Evangeline received her MFA from the University of New Orleans (UNO) in 1978, where she was the first woman to graduate from the program. Margaret studied with Calvin Harlan, who introduced her to Robert Bly, a visiting artist to UNO. Bly’s translations of Kabir, the 15th-century mystic poet, have influenced Margaret throughout her career. Throughout the 1960s and early ’70s, Margaret relocated numerous times with her three young children and Air Force pilot husband before moving to New Orleans. After receiving her MFA, she established her painting practice in New Orleans, exhibiting at Gallery Simone Stern and then Ferrara Showman Gallery. She developed the Fine Arts Department and Gallery Program at Delgado Community College, where she continued to teach painting and life drawing courses until moving permanently to New York City in 1992.

Max Cole: Marble Canyon, 1985
Acrylic on Canvas
52 x 92 in.
Level 8 Grant Park Lounge
Max Cole is an American painter best known for her gray-toned canvases. Her paintings suggest an approach to infinity through the use of vertical repetitive lines, a record of intense focus that is said to contain energy as embedded content. Cole describes this process, which she has worked in for over 50 years, as meditative.
Though sometimes compared to the work of Agnes Martin, the similarities between the practices are superficial. “There is no other way to produce the work except for a depth of engagement requiring the abandonment of self," she has explained, "and this process opens the door to infinity enabling reach outside the physical. For me art must transcend the material.” Born in 1937 in Hodgeman County, KS, she received her BFA from Fort Hays State University in Kansas and her MFA from the University of Arizona in Tucson. Influenced by the Suprematist works of Kazimir Malevich during the late 1950s, she began producing paintings which reflected on time with simple forms. The artist currently lives and works in Somerset, CA. Today, Cole’s works are held the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others.

Hand-stitched sequins on canvas
49 1/4 x 48 x 2 3/4 in.
Level 8 Cocktail Lounge
Frances Goodman is an interdisciplinary artist based in Johannesburg, whose work involves materials, processes and forms associated with dressmaking, adornment, and the beauty industry. These include acrylic nails, false eyelashes, sequins, needlework, and crochet.
Through her practice, Goodman reflects on conventional definitions of femininity and its trappings, alternately critiquing and celebrating what it means to identify as a woman in contemporary society. Her work also looks more broadly at the ways in which the self is projected and reflected in social and virtual space.
Physical presentation and transformation are both a crushing expectation and a source of empowerment for the archetypes in Goodman’s elaborate sculptures and installations. Glossy, sparkling, sensual textures and a lurid, intoxicating palette imbue her work with the libidinal energy of material consumption. The latter is at the root of Goodman’s inquiry into womanhood. She manipulates the tools and language of the beauty industry in an attempt to understand the commodification of identity.

Kinga Czerska: Golden Forest, 2024
Acrylic on panel
48 x 108 in.
Level 8 The Den
Kinga Czerska devotes her time to the study of patterns and structures found all around us: in architecture, engineering, flora, fauna, stars, galaxies, the human body, and within her own psyche. Understanding the intricacies of both our natural and manmade environments and the way the myriad details found within interlock, thus creating our elegant and balanced world, is her life’s work. Czerska’s quest is to understand how it all fits, what holds it together and, most importantly, how one can affect the whole as the elements interlace, change, shift and reconfigure.

Lilian Garcia-Roig: Cumulative Nature: Washington Woods Trio, 2019
Oil on Canvas
48 x 108 x 1 1/2 in.
Level 8 The Den
Lilian Garcia-Roig was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1966. She earned her BFA in 1988 at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, and her MFA from the University of Pennsylvania in 1990. She was the Director of Graduate Studies in Visual Art at Florida State University, Tallahassee from 2002 to 2008, and is currently a tenured art professor in this institution.
Garcia-Roig is a plein-air landscape artist, the French expression for “in the open air” painting. Just like the French impressionists used to depict the landscape in an immediate way, from direct observation, Garcia-Roig reflects in her representations a passionate engagement with both the given visual terrain and the painting process. Her body of work essentially befogs the boundaries between abstraction and representation.

Lisa Hunt: Cross Sections: Untitled 2, 2017; Cross Sections: Untitled 4, 2017; Cross Sections: Untitled 6, 2017
Ed. Silkscreen and 24-carat gold leaf on paper
each 30 x 26 in.
Level 8 Social Kitchen
Lisa Hunt is a visual artist whose screen printed works on paper, canvas, and collage explore the spatial and meditative relationships between patterns. Her work employs lines, symbols, and typographic elements that reveal the infinite possibilities of shape and repetition. Drawing inspiration from textiles, her distinctive use of gold leaf further expands upon these relationships. The influence of traditional West African textiles and African American quilt-making are touch stones in her practice through collage.
Hunt has participated in group exhibitions at national museums and galleries, including the Asheville Art Museum in North Carolina; Claire Oliver Gallery in New York; Highpoint Center for Printmaking in Minnesota; Trout Museum in Wisconsin; and the International Print Center New York. Acquisitions of her artworks are held at the Asheville Art Museum, North Carolina; Weisman Art Museum, Minnesota; Google Headquarters, New York.

He is a painter, sound artist, writer, educator, and curator whose work explores the relationship between visual art, sound, and science.

Sarah Esme Harrison: Untitled, 2023
Oil on panel
60 x 36 x 7 in.
Level 20 Private Party Lounge
Sarah Esme Harrison (b. 1990, New York, New York) lives and works in Brooklyn and Long Island, New York. She graduated from the Yale School of Art with an MFA in Painting in 2017. Both working in and subverting the tradition of plein air landscape painting, her works ask us to interrogate who is looking, and from what perspective. Beginning her paintings outdoors, she makes observational responses to her surroundings. She then moves the paintings into the studio, where she sees them as distinctly human-made, rather than as a piece of the natural world, as it appears while working outside. Building wedge-shaped supports for the painted panels, she exaggerates that they are unnatural, their shape prompting viewers to move around them in an exploratory way. The second layer of her paintings, completed in the studio, takes the form of a gate, a symbol of duality. To invite a close look, they adorn and echo, but at the same time, they keep the viewer out. Conventions of beauty tell us to look, and then they distort what we see. These imposing tangles of wrought iron often take a floriate form, blending with the garden, all the while standing in opposition. Harrison’s paintings point to our imperfect love for nature, which is possessive, extractive, and violent.

Damaris Pan: Likabetus, 2023
Oil on Canvas
75 x 55 in.
Level 20 Horizon Lounge
Damaris Pan lives and works in Bilbao. Her paintings reveal a peculiar language of shapes, densities and colour palettes whose outcome is not subject to specific themes. Along with her clear concern for materiality and corporality, Damaris Pan works with persistence on the possibilities of constructiveness, going for the autonomy of the pictorial work. This way, she claims art as a place for knowledge from experience, from where she questions the limits of the pictorial and life.
Among her most recent exhibitions is worth mentioning the solo shows ‘Un martillo en la cabeza’ at Ana Mas Projects (Barcelona, 2022), ‘Veri Pery’ at Halfhouse (Barcelona, 2022), ‘Cuernos a la Vista’ at BilbaoArte (2020), the duo Sugaar with Fiona Mackay at the Cibrián gallery (Donostia, 2021), and the group show ‘Turno de Réplica’ at Patio Herreriano Museum curated by Javier Hontoria (Valladolid, 2021). She has recently been awarded the Gure Artea 2021 Prize, in the category of recognition of artistic practice. In addition, in 2021 she has been one of the recipients of the annual Eremuak’s Artistic Practice Grant.

Watercolor on Paper
60 1/8 x 23 1/2 in.
Level 20 Horizon Lounge
Louis Verret's practice is multidisciplinary and variable, currently combining watercolor painting, writing and installation. The use of watercolor paint reflects a desire to counterpoint the subtext. Originally practiced for the fugitive nature of travel painting, on the motif and objective, it retains the fleeting characteristics of notes taken on the spot, as close as possible to emotions and stigmata. The book is thus consecrated for its form (on which the memory of the living, its poetic disposition, rests), not for its function (of reading, of culture).

Gouache on handmade paper
each 20 x 18 in.
Level 21 Coworking Lounge
Abstract painter Joanne Freeman's paintings are grounded in architecture, design, popular culture, and art history. Her palette is based on primary, heavily saturated colors and collage-like shapes. Freeman's work utilizes hard edges to create stencil-like forms that mimic collage and screen printing. Each painting has a sense of space that is created through the thoughtful application of color and paint on linen. The simplicity of Freeman's colors and shapes demonstrates an intuitive understanding of the two-dimensional nature of painting, while mimicking three-dimensional space.

Claus Brunsmann: Untitled, 2022
Oil on canvas
47 1/8 x 55 in.
Level 21 Coworking Lounge
Claus Brunsmann’s work oscillates between figurative and abstract art and covers a broad range of form and content. The paintings are characterized by a multi-layered penetration of the medium and its tradition and are deeply rooted in the history of art. At the same time, they open up traditional imagery to unfamiliar interpretations and ways of seeing modern media.
Claus Brunsmann’s works testify to the power of a painting, which aesthetically manufactures, or even invents, the reality in the image.
