From 2009-2010, painter Jan Frank created the curatorial project “BLT”. The project involved putting together a gallery with designer furniture, a director, interns, and a slate of programs.“BLT” showcased work from over 50 different artists in seven different programs.

 

"I was offered a beautiful space on the Bowery across from the New Museum, at first it seemed so uninteresting and so much work, but after the market crash in 2007 it became a viable alternative to not only show a body of work I had just completed, but to do a program. I set the stage to curate several shows that were instinctively correct and swam against the current ideological showings."
