Ben Snead, Fish Farm (Brooklyn Snappers)
September 28, 2012 to September 27, 2013
Clumber Corner, Brooklyn
, Brooklyn
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
Description:
Three large fish heads, including a lane snapper, a yellow tail snapper and a rock hind, sprout from the corner of this slopping lawn bordered by the Brooklyn Bridge and the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. All three species are found in local fish markets throughout Brooklyn. The fish live in tropical waters such as the Caribbean and are transported to New York City for human consumption. By enlarging them and placing them on the grass, they are taken even further out of context.
