Curator’s Talk: Image/Conduit

At 2,200 acres, Freshkills Park will be almost three times the size of Central Park and the largest park developed in New York City in over 100 years. Free tours offer insights into ongoing development and unmatched views, and recreational programs provide opportunities to experience the hills and waterways before the park officially opens.

Freshkills Park

<P>Artist Bill Jenkins describes the sensation of exploring Freshkills Park as “being inside an image.” In an effort to comprehend his own experiences of roaming around Freshkills Park, Jenkins devised a method of making video images on site, in the grasses and rainwater runoff, which reenacts the action of compression of physical matter at Freshkills Park into two dimensions. The “Image/Conduit” <A HREF="http://freshkillspark.org/blog/bill-jenkins-image-conduit-now-on-view-at-studio-gallery" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">installation</A> pairs the resultant videos, titled Scans, with sculptures from Jenkins’ Conduit series. Learn more with the curator at this gallery talk.</P>
<P>The gallery will be open 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., with the talk beginning at 1:00 p.m.</P>
