= WhiteBox = WhiteBox is a New York City-based non-profit contemporary art exhibition space. Founded by artist and Artistic Director Juan Puntes in 1998, WhiteBox serves as a platform for contemporary artists to develop and showcase new site-specific work, and is a laboratory for unique commissions, exhibitions, special events, salon series, and arts education programs. At its original location in Chelsea, WhiteBox held mid-career exhibitions of acclaimed artists such as Michael Snow, Javier Tellez , and Carolee Schneemann , provocative group shows such at 1999's Unquiet Urbanism, curated by Osvaldo Romberg. WhiteBox has long been committed to serving the surrounding communities, beginning in 2003 with The Bayview Project, a collaboration between the Irish artist Brian Maguire and the inmates of Bayview Correctional Facility, a medium security women's prison. Since its move to the Chinatown/LES neighborhood of Manhattan in 2008, WhiteBox has continued to display socially active exhibitions including China: June 4, 1989 (2014), a collaboration with the Asian American Arts Centre featuring works commemorating the events at Tiananmen Square; and Intimate Transgressions (2015), a multimedia exhibition of works created in response to the theme of sexual violence as a tactic of terror, and Acts of Sedition (2016), which explored geo-political strife and tensions preceding the 2016 presidential elections.
