Under the Level at Conflux 2007 Festival
Angela Pablo and I just found out yesterday that our project Under the Level was accepted for inclusion in the 2007 Conflux Festival happening this September 13-16 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. For the festival, we have proposed a walking tour of Bedford Ave. in Williamsburg that follows the different gradations of flood that the neighborhood could receive with rising sea level and if it were to receive a category four storm similar to hurricane Katrina. We are also excited to propose our project to the Contemporary Art Center in New Orleans in the coming weeks, in the hopes that Under the Level could interface with a window display that I will be working on with Dan Phiffer that includes audio commentary from New Orleans residents. In addition to revising our call-in system for the project, we also be making upgrades to the Under the Level website and printing out some photographs for inclusion in the Conflux gallery display.
Check back for updates on when the walking tour will actually take place.
