Program Notes
I live by the Gowanus Canal. A dumping ground for industrial, farming, and medical waste in the canal since the mid-19th century. One of the most polluted bodies of water in the United States, and possibly radioactive.
From afar, it is still quite beautiful.
Next to the canal is a metal scrapyard. A second sea of bicycle frames, old chairs, rust. A memorial to the sheer amount of stuff that is constantly created, used, discarded. Seeing the two together is terrifying, and beautiful.
