Intensive renovations, including a new roof, take place. During that period, the two storefronts of the building, which are accessible from East Fifths Street, are used as exhibition spaces: a small jury of well-known New York art critics, artists, and curators selects 36 participants to show their work for an extended amount of time. However, since the Kunsthalle is a construction site, the audience can view the continuously changing exhibit named Peep Show only through large holes. Over the four months of its duration, the project attracts a steady audience of art-minded friends and neighbors to keep in touch with the New York Kunsthalle.
