Daniel Goers and Jennifer Wong, Myrtle Avenue Bird Town
May 3, 2010 to December 10, 2010
Person Square and the NW corner of Fort Greene Park
Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
Description:
Goers and Wong will employ recycled materials and experimental building techniques to add flair to the micro-community of birdhouses. As colorful and as energetic as the birds that inhabit them, this collection of birdhouses will be the stage for an ongoing performance as birds feed, nest, build, and care for offspring. This exhibition will attract and promote the public to observe their native avian neighbors and the ecological relationship between the birds and the urban environment.
Throughout the duration of the exhibition, Goers and Wong will enact a number of educational workshops, including the South of the Navy Yards Artists stroll in May 2010, in and around the community that will teach children and adults about local bird species and environment awareness. Participants will be encouraged to build their own bird houses with supplies provided by the artists. The installation will also be regularly documented on the exhibition’s website. The artists will provide information and images of the planning, fabrication, and installation, as well as chronicle the lives of the feathered inhabitants of Myrtle Avenue Bird Town.
This is a project of the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership. For more information on this exhibition please visit the Myrtle Avenue Bird Town website.
