This coming Sunday I’ll be one of the artists participating in the round table discussion for the Brooklyn Utopias exhibit. The discussion will focus on large-scale planning initiatives, so Atlantic Yards will certainly be in the mix. Atlantic Yards is also the topic of my photographs in the group exhibit.
Details below. Hope to see you there.
