Post Industrial ProgressionPublic Art Installation Post Industrial Progression is a site-specific photography installation documenting the sweeping changes that have transformed Brooklyn’s industrial waterfront over the past 20 years. It presents a selection of 11 photographs, arranged chronologically, that track the cycles of decay and rebirth along Brooklyn’s coast, and the unique access that community members have found to shorelines which have been inaccessible for generations. Post Industrial Progression is installed outdoors in the historic atrium of Building B at the Brooklyn Army Terminal, which was designed by renowned architect Cass Gilbert. Each photograph was printed on weatherproofed metal, and attached to a decommissioned train, which the artist draped in black bunting, paying homage to the building’s somber WWII history. A list of place names are also mounted on the train, designed in the style of the historic signage of the Army Terminal. This installation was part of the exhibit In Plain Sight, commissioned by the New York Economic Development Company (NYC EDC) as part of a public art program at the Army Terminal. |
