Observatory
february 2012 by fakeisthenewreal
OBSERVATORY is an art and events space in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Founded in February 2009 and run by a group of seven artists and bloggers, the space seeks to present programming inspired by the 18th century notion of “rational amusement” and is especially interested in topics residing at the interstices of art and science, history and curiosity, magic and nature.

Pop-Up Museum
february 2012 by fakeisthenewreal
The Pop-Up Museum:
(n.) An exhibition about the past and future of the Gowanus Canal and the museum. Opens March 3 at Observatory.
(v.) An experiment in site-specific space activation, constructing potential futures using primary documents.
What should/can the Gowanus become? How are we becoming-Gowanus?
And what would a museum about this process look like? For eight weeks, we're going to explore these and other questions.

"Each image is composited from parts of up to 100 different digital images, and its subjects represent every person to pass through the fixed frame over a span of time - usually 20 - 60 minutes. While the resulting image creates a completely artificial scene, it also functions as an objective sampling of the unique population who live, work, and play in Brooklyn’s neighborhoods."
