About Postmasters

Postmasters is a contemporary art gallery located in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood, owned and directed by Magda Sawon and Tamas Banovich.

The Postmasters gallery opened in East Village in December 1984, moved to SoHo in 1989, and was relocated to Chelsea in September 1998. In June 2013, Postmasters was moved to 54 Franklin Street in Tribeca, taking over a 6,500-square-foot (600 m2) ground-floor space complete with a large functional basement.

The gallery has a history of exhibiting work in media that is challenging for a commercial art gallery, including the work of several Net.artists and political activists. For example, Maciej Wisniewski's media-rich e-mail software Netomat was exhibited as an artwork at the gallery in 1999 before being exhibited at the Whitney Museum of Art in 2000.
