Ludlow 38 was the contemporary art space of the Goethe-Institut New York. The MINI/Goethe-Institut Curatorial Residencies Ludlow 38 program was launched in 2011 and marked the continuation of the partnership between the Goethe-Institut New York and MINI at this location since 2008. It gave young curators from Germany the opportunity to develop and implement a one-year exhibition and event program at Ludlow 38.
