Windowblogging in Brooklyn
Posted June 14, 2008 by molly_fair in Events
June 14-21, 2008
My longtime friend and collaborator Sunita Prasad will be participating in a show called Windows Brooklyn. The gist of it is that a bunch of artists are paired with a bunch of shopkeepers in the neighborhood and the shopkeepers give their store window to the artist to do an installation for 10 days.
Sunita's window will be transformed into an interactive LIVE (as in her in the window with a dry-erase marker and some tape) "BLOG". It's called Windowblog, and she will be updating it every weekday at 6pm and every weekend-day at 3pm. The previous days' entries will also be shown on a monitor in the window during store hours, and the text will use the language of the blogosphere to interact in real time with the actual public sphere. The idea is to adapt the mode of personal diary perfected by blogging into a physical performance and topical dialogue in public space. The first entry of the blog explores the word "peace" and peace slogans, in an attempt to reinvigorate the urgent content of a somewhat diluted or disheartened word. I am excited to be taking part as one of her videographers. So get off the internet and come on down to Home Court Furniture at 286 Court Street!
Opening Reception: June 14, Sam's Restaurant 238 Court St, Brooklyn , 3-5pm, cash bar
Art Walk: June 21, 3-5pm, Talk to the artists at their installation locations
Closing Reception: June 21, 6pm, Carroll Park, closing performance by Maya Pindyck and Fletcher Boote
