Brooklyn Makes

Brooklyn Makes
A project by Sarah Nelson Wright
with sound by Jennifer Stock

Friday + Saturday
October 9+10, 2009
7:30pm - 10pm

BROOKLYN 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). Download a map with the three spots at http://www.brooklynmakes.org or pick one up 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 both nights.  In case of rain, start at 50-52 Dobbin Street.  Please respect the few cars and neighbors in the area by staying on the sidewalks and keeping your voice down when you pass residential apartments.

Brooklyn Makes is part of Space on Dobbin's activities for Williamsburg Gallery Association's Every 2:nd Friday and openhousenewyork weekend.
