[1] Founded in 2001 by Michele Maccarone,[2] the gallery opened in an abandoned electronics store at 45 Canal Street.
For the opening show by Christoph Büchel, visitors had to sign a waiver before crawling through a carved hole in the wall to enter various small rooms, some of which were only four feet high.
[3] In 2007, the gallery moved to the West Village where it inhabits a 6,000 square feet (560 m2) space at 630 Greenwich Street.
In 2012, Maccarone took over the lease from a space that had been home to a dry cleaner around the corner but in the same building as her gallery at 630 Greenwich Street.
[4] Between 2005 and 2007, Maccarone presented exhibitions at MC, a project space she operated jointly with the dealer Christian Haye in Culver City.
