New York Shitty Slide Show Du Jour: Underneath The Greenpoint Hospital
Filed under: 11211, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
(Or more accurately: its Outpatient Annex.)
As I mentioned in this post the folks at St. Nick’s are having an open call for artists. Well, as promised today I took a tour of the space they are converting into an art and performance space. All things said it is very much a work in progress. Having just completed asbestos abatement, they can now move forward finishing the space. This is not to suggest that one cannot see the potential: you can. The main area would be perfect as a performance or installation space, to cite just one example. In addition, it was really neat to poke around the labyrinth of rooms, closets and antechambers in their pre-rehabilitated state. If you are into urban decay you are going to love this photo set. Enjoy!
Anyone interested in proposing an on-site installation or performance, wants to submit work for their open call or simply has questions about this space should contact Laura McLelland @ lmclelland (at) stnicksalliance (dot) org. Oh yeah, be sure to read the submission specs and requirements first!

I honestly do not know what to say about this, the latest state of the East Willie Guanomobile, other than whoever is responsible for this act of theft must have really wanted that car stereo. BADLY.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Kite Day Cometh!

With the weather being as dreary as it is I was delighted to get a reminder from a reader named Ruth that this upcoming Saturday, May 15, is Kite Day at McCarren Park! Those of you who have yet to check this out really should— it’s a lot of fun. What’s more, it is for good cause; it’s a fundraiser for P.S. 132!

Jay Lombard (who forwarded this McCarren Park still life) to me opines:
If fire isn’t allowed inside the park was this salmon prepared tartar? Maybe sashimi? Either way it looks like a feast was had and they left plenty behind – gotta work on those knife skills.
Agreed. The stuff of “Top Chef” this most decidedly isn’t. This is individual could also use a little boning up (no intention) on his (or her) sign reading skills as well. Makes me think of a song…
