2021 Tending The Edge

This spring, as the city considers who will become our next mayor and we come face to face with our own future, NYC Department of City Planning (DCP), Culture Push (CP), and Works on Water (WoW), have come together, with the support of the Mayor's Office for Cultural Affairs to consider how we will collectively tend to the edges of our vulnerable coastal archipelago.

Water Connectors

,

Water Connectors is a series of six neighborhood-based temporary public art projects that connect NYC communities vulnerable to the effects of climate change with their waterfront, and with each other. From the Rockaways to the Bronx, these six socially-engaged artworks embody our ideals of Resiliency, Equity, and Health in relation to our NYC waterways. Water Connectors is specifically built to encourage meaningful conversations and actions with communities that have been traditionally disconnected from the waterfront, despite their proximity, due to barriers in public access.

Water Connectors is a part of our three-year triennial which started in 2020. A special thank you goes out to Moira Williams for joining our cohort and connecting all of the projects through discussions around accessibility.

Water Connectors is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and Invoking the Pause.

The Water Connector artists are Rodrick Bell, Cody Herrmann, Nora Almeida, Ray Jordan Achan, Kin to the Cove Collective, and Buena Onda Collective.

Stay tuned for more details about the specific project events, dates and locations.

2021 Triennial Exhibition - October 31th (going with the rain date)

This installment of Works on Water’s three year triennial turns to concepts of long-term care for our urban waterfront ecology and reconsideration of water time-scales. WoWhaus Resident artists’ and Tending the Edge artists’ projects call attention to marginalized ecological community members, and to water’s cycles of time and being.

2020-2022 Triennial

We have adapted our 2020 Triennial into a three year exhibition! Despite the pandemic, we produced virtual projects and exhibitions, and are excited to continue this summer. Tending the Edge, a continuation of Walking the Edge (2020), kicks off our 2021 triennial summer with an incredible group of artists making work through the lens of the Comprehensive Waterfront Plan that invites NYC mayoral candidates and New Yorkers alike to see themselves as island inhabitants and flex their power to affect change.
