The Intercourse interior, Exquisite Corpse reception 2012

The Intercourse is an arts center in Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York, U.S.A., founded by contemporary artist Dustin Yellin in 2012.[1] The center includes a large scale exhibition space, a garden and sculpture park, an artist-in-residency program, a class and lecture series. The Intercourse opened to the public in June 2012 with Adam Green's show Cartoon and Complaint.[2]

The building

The Intercourse is housed in a brick building that dates back to the time of the American Civil War. The space was originally a part of the complex of Pioneer Iron Works and is a remnant of Red Hook's booming industrial past.[3] At the time the Iron Works occupied nearly the entire block between Van Brunt and Conover streets.[4] Dustin Yellin purchased the 24,000 square foot[5] building in June 2011 and began renovations soon after.[6]

The Intercourse Project

The Intercourse[7] is focused on supporting and encouraging creative thought through the development, sharing and combining of ideas and collective knowledge. This goal is accomplished through hosting artist-in-resident studios, classes, lectures, a self-published magazine and rotating exhibitions in the main space and sculpture garden. The Intercourse Project is currently collaborating with Recess Activities and is acting as a host space for Recess' program Session.[8] The first edition of Intercourse Magazine is available now. It features contributions from Gibby Haynes, Andrew VanWyngarden, Bob Colacello, and others[9]
