Join Newtown Creek Alliance and ISCP staff on September 8th for a guided exhibition and walking tour presented in conjunction with Hans Rosenström: Conspirare, on view at ISCP. This approximately 2.5-mile roundtrip route follows the industrial Newtown Creek waterfront to Plank Road, offering close encounters with one of New York City’s most environmentally complex landscapes. Along the way, Gus Perry, Restoration and Marine Projects Coordinator at Newtown Creek Alliance, will discuss the ecological and industrial histories of the Creek that informed Rosenström’s site-specific installation. The program begins and concludes at ISCP, where participants can experience the exhibition, including an immersive sound installation featuring field recordings of ribbed mussels at Newtown Creek’s Plank Road.
The event begins at 5:30pm at ISCP with an introduction to the exhibition from curator Melinda Lang, ISCP’s Director of Exhibitions and Programs. The group will depart from ISCP by 6:00pm for the walking tour and then return back to ISCP by 7:00pm. A short reception with refreshments will follow.
More info and registration is available on Eventbrite.
