Over the last 40-plus years, more than two hundred Visual Artist AIRspace residents have occupied the Abrons studios. Long walk from the F train is a group exhibition featuring select Visual Artist AIRspace Residency alumni, ranging from the program’s first cohort in 1980 to the present. Non-linear and non-exhaustive, this exhibition does not tell the history of the residency program—instead, it is a collective memory of being in residence.

Featured artists include Willie Birch (1980-1981), Baseera Khan (2016-2017), Girl (Chitra Ganesh, 2002-2003 + Simone Leigh, 2005-2006), Oji Haynes (2023-2024), Yoko Inoue (2000-2002), William Jung (1980-87), Emily Manwaring (2022-2023), Alan Ruiz (2016-2017), Juan Sánchez (1980-1987), Tuesday Smillie (2018-2019), Ho Tam (1998-1999), Mary Ting (1986-1987), and Lynne Yamamoto (1995-1996).
