In April 2003 Heidrun Holzfeind and Christoph Keller founded ”tuesdaybar”, a temporary alternative art space in the Lower East Side in New York. Our aim was to create a platform for presentation and discussion of contemporary interdisciplinary art practise that offers an alternative to commercial and institutional art venues in New York. Between April and June 2003 we organized a series of one-night exhibitions that surpassed the traditional art exhibition into a social event or “happening”, presenting art-work, video, films and music from European and New York based artists.
