Brooklyn Makes!
Friday + Saturday
October 9+10, 2009
7:30pm-10pmBROOKLYN MAKES is a site-specific video installation in the Williamsburg Greenpoint Industrial Zone, revealing the work of manufacturers in North Brooklyn today.
Video projections by Sarah Nelson Wright will light up the industrial facades of three manufacturers, with evocative sound by Jennifer Stock. Captured inside each business, the videos and sounds bring North Brooklyn’s hidden labor onto the public streets.
Directions: Take the G to Nassau or L to Bedford Ave (also near the B61 and B48 buses). See the map below or pick up a map at Space on Dobbin, 50-52 Dobbin Street between Nassau & Norman Avenues in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
FAQ: Videos will loop at each location, and will play simultaneously throughout the night. In case of rain, start at Space on Dobbin. Please respect the few cars and residents in the area by staying on the sidewalks and keeping your voice down outside residential buildings.

Brooklyn Makes on Urban Omnibus
I thoroughly enjoyed showing previews of Brooklyn Makes at FEAST and Red Hook Film Festival this weekend! So many creative folks and so much wonderful work to enjoy.
Check out my post about Brooklyn Makes on Urban Omnibus.
Urban Omnibus is an online project of the Architectural League to create a new kind of conversation about design and New York City. We commission, gather and deliver the insights of journalists, architects, planners, designers, artists, activists, scholars and citizens. The Omnibus features multi-media content to showcase design innovation, critical analysis and local expertise across a broad range of topics and locales, creating bridges between various communities of interest. Urban Omnibus makes vivid the processes and possibilities shaping New York. Our goal is to increase understanding of the city we have and encourage ideas that can lead to a more inclusive, more sustainable, more beautiful city that could be.

FEAST Award
I’m thrilled to announce that Brooklyn Makes received a $400 grant at Feast! It was a very exciting evening. I met a lot of great people and enjoyed spending the afternoon talking about the project in the park.

BROOKLYN MAKES at FEAST
I am proposing my project BROOKLYN MAKES, a video walking tour about manufacturing in North Brooklyn, for funding at the next FEAST dinner, 6-9pm on Saturday, August 8th, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
FEAST is a recurring public dinner designed to use community-driven financial support to democratically fund new and emerging art makers. At FEAST dinners, everyone pays a sliding scale for dinner and a fundraiser (suggested 10-20 dollars) and then votes on one of the proposed art projects by local artists to fund with the money made at the door. It should be a lovely event as usual, with delicious dinner & fun times.
Please come out and vote for my project if you’re in town!

I visited Attachment with my brother on Thursday — here’s some updated photos. You can see it (and participate) on the 2nd Floor of the Gay and Lesbian Center at 208 West 13th Street near 7th Avenue in NYC through the end of August 2009.

ONE Williamsburg
Tomorrow I will be finishing my semester-long program with kids at the PS 16 YMCA After School in South Williamsburg. We explored our neighborhood through technology and made a website. Pretty exciting for fourth and fifth grade! If you’d like to check our out site, where you can see our pictures and hear our podcast, go here. We have a video as well, but I’m waiting to hear if we can post it online, because the kids star in it.
We called our project O.N.E. Williamsburg, for “Our Neighborhood Explored.” Please feel free to leave (kid-appropriate) comments!

Then and Now Opening Pics
05.29.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsThanks to all who came out to the opening! It was amazing to see the way Attachment evolved. Nathaniel and I were surprised and delighted to see people create things we didn’t even imagine. The piece is up until Sept. 4, so please stop by The Center to participate and watch it grow (208 West 13th Street, near 7th Avenue, 2nd Floor, 9am-11pm daily).
I will post pictures throughout the summer. A couple people took really beautiful ones at the opening. Here are a selection of Megan Cronin’s:

Attachment
We installed ATTACHMENT at The Center yesterday. I am really happy with the way the piece is coming out. The only thing missing is community participation, which will begin next Thursday, May 28th, at the opening gala. I will post documentation as it progresses. The work will be up all summer and I look forward to discovering how it will grow. Please stop by 208 West 13th Street and visit the second floor if you are in NYC this summer.
Thanks to Mimi Smith for asking me to participate in this show, my collaborator Nathaniel Lieb, Chris Hanway and Ector Simpson at The Center, the lovely ladies who donated yarn, and everyone who offered input, especially my studiomates (Francisca Caporali, Laura Chipley, Pilar Ortiz and Mary Jeys) and my homies (Sabrina Lee, Rand Dadasovich, and Rachel Messer).
