Profile
Creative Time is getting a foothold downtown—amid new galleries, a landmark museum, and Chelsea transplants—by bringing Brit Mike Nelson Stateside for his first major New York installation. The 2001 Turner Prize nominee has transformed the Essex Street Market: Using the market’s derelict interior as his three-dimensional canvas, Nelson loads up on the literary, cultural, and historical references, and integrates elements from the building's past lives as a tattoo parlor, Chinese restaurant, and psychic's storefront.
