MORE ON THE ARCHIVE OF CONTEMPORARY MUSIC
The Guardian also covered the future of the Archive of Contemporary Music: “It all started in a loft in Tribeca, New York, long before it was a trendy neighbourhood. ‘I had 47,000 records and nobody wanted them,’ recalls Bob George, who had just published a discography of punk and new wave music. ‘That led a lot of people coming to me and saying you have to save this stuff; no one else is saving it. That got the ball rolling in my loft in what is now fashionable Tribeca, which was an incredibly unfashionable war zone in 1974 when I was first there.'”

GLOWING REVIEWS FOR A GLOWING BUILDING
The Wall Street Journal reviews the Perelman Performing Arts Center, designed by Tribecan Joshua Ramus of the firm REX, saying the new structure at the World Trade Center complex “navigates the many constraints of the site with ingenuity and grace.”

THE DETAILS AT 108 LEONARD
Wallpaper gets inside 108 Leonard, the Tribeca condos in the Watchtower Building designed by McKim, Mead & White in 1898. Included: a landmarked and restored marble-clad anteroom and bespoke furniture designed by the 125-year-old Italian brand Giorgetti, the monumental marble staircase and balustrade in the lobby, and a marble lounge that was once used by New York Life’s VIP clients. I’ll get in there someday…

ANOTHER GALLERY FOR THE TGD
The Observer reports that Schoelkopf Gallery has moved to the Tribeca Gallery District after 21 years on the Upper East Side to 4,800-square-foot space at 390 Broadway. And like all the new galleries, is designed by Markus Dochantschi from studioMDA. Andrew Schoelkopf is formerly of Christie’s and was the one-time president of the Art Dealers Association of America. On why he moved to Tribeca: “Opportunity and need. We saw a great opportunity to continue building the business and our community in Tribeca and we needed a great deal more space.”
