Dia SoHo
ARO is overseeing the upgrade and expansion of Dia Art Foundation’s locations in New York City and Beacon, as part of a comprehensive, multi-year plan to strengthen Dia’s mission, program and resources. The Dia SoHo projects include a 2,500 SF gallery space at 77 Wooster Street that will support artist projects, collection displays, and exhibitions and the revitalization of Walter De Maria’s The New York Earth Room and The Broken Kilometer.

Historically one of Dia’s original galleries in New York City, the space will serve as a new gallery space and critical hub for two adjacent artist sites.

The galleries housing these works, which were installed in 1977 and 1979 respectively, will be upgraded with new infrastructure and HVAC systems, enabling both sites to remain open year-round. The Broken Kilometer will reopen in fall 2022, while The New York Earth Room will reopen in early 2023.
