FOSSIL FUELS X CITI BANK
City Limits has an opinion piece from Alec Connon, the coalition director of Stop the Money Pipeline, a network of 200-plus organizations working to end financing for fossil fuels, on the reasons behind the blockades of Citi headquarters on Greenwich. (Seen above on July 9.) “For years, Citi has refused to confront the issue of its fossil fuel business.

THE CAMPUS, TRIBECA GALLERY NORTH
Surface has a story on the group of Tribeca galleries that have taken over a former school in Columbia County as an art destination.
“In the early pandemic’s grimmest days, the Tribeca dealer Andrew Kreps was scouting properties upstate where he could store art for far cheaper than in the city. He soon discovered the long-abandoned Ockawamick School in Columbia County, which had sat unoccupied since the ‘90s and was being sold by the estate of late interior designer Eleanor Ambos for $1.2 million. It fit the bill—the 78,000-square-foot property, which sits on two dozen grassy acres, could offer both storage and, as Ambos’s listing suggested, an unorthodox art venue.”
