On the last evening of Didier Fiuza Faustino's installation (G)HOST IN THE (S)HELL Storefront will host a summer closing party and officially launch the Facade Restoration.
On July 1, construction work begins on the restoration of Storefront's famed facade designed in 1992 by Vito Acconci and Steven Holl. In late September, the gallery will reopen with a newly-restored exterior and an exciting new season of exhibitions and events.

This April, Storefront for Art and Architecture and Abitare magazine will be appearing in Milan for the 2008 edition of the Funiture Fair (16-21 April) with a new version of the Ring Dome pavilion previously installed at Storefront Gallery in New York. The pavilion, designed by Minsuk Cho/Mass Studies and built out of 1,500 hula-hoops and and 12,000 zip-ties, will be installed in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, the shopping arcade that connects Piazza Duomo and Piazza La Scala.
During the five days of the Fair, the pavilion will host a series of events organized by Abitare magazine and Storefront.
These will include a 100-minute dialogue between Hans Ulrich Obrist, Pierre Paulin and Rem Koolhaas; a day-long domino-interview with 50 participants, starting with Naoto Fukasawa; Gaetano Pesce in conversation with Oliviero Toscani; and a day-long open editorial meeting.
This year, Storefront will begin an exciting new chapter in its history that will carry the gallery beyond the confines of New York – a series of new Storefronts will pop up for a brief time in cities around the world to host events and exhibitions, and then disappear.
Pop-Ups will avoid the conventional gallery format by temporarily taking over unoccupied spaces in unexpected neighborhoods, to exhibit and discuss pressing topics in art and architecture.
