A Field Guide to the Place Where You Are
Industrial ladder, flags, binoculars
FSDE shares a sculptural installation that invites participants to investigate their material surrounds from atop a post-natural lifeguard chair.
This new work is based on their four-part project they launched in June 2017: A Field Guide to the Dark Ecologies of Newtown Creek.
FSDE led a site-specific experience on Newtown Creek on June 13 and 17.
Building a Better Fishtrap
Installation of fishnet, chairs, tables, mason jars, conch shell, archival newsprint, signage with instructions for audience.
McGregor invites the audience to interact with and experience the residue of the fishtrap world as part of her iterative performance project rooted in the vanishing fishing tradition of the artist’s 91-year-old father. A performance at New York Live Arts was livestreamed into 3LD on June 17.
The Color of Crude
Multi-channel video installationDuration: 3 minutes, 2 seconds
Dyson journeys clandestinely underwater to sites such as the Gulf of Mexico and Cape Town, South Africa exploring indelible ties between geography, economy, color, time, sensoria, and what it means to be a human body of these ecologies.
Mittere
Single-channel video, 15 minutes
Mattingly premiered Mittere at Works on Water. Making this work was a personal form of letting go and a symbolic form of regeneration, as a response to her WetLand project and Waterpod—both alternative living experiences. Concurrently, Mattingly’s public floating food forest SWALE in Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pier 6: was open and free to the public.
