Chat Travieso with University Neighborhood High School, Untitled

July 18, 2015 to October 25, 2015
Pier 42, Manhattan

Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.

Description:

The Lower East Side Waterfront Alliance & Lower Manhattan Cultural Council invited artists and design professionals to participate in a community-driven, site-responsive design process for the temporary activation of Pier 42 on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

University Neighborhood High School students worked together with Chat Travieso, a teaching artist at Hester Street Collaborative, to build a shaded seating area out of used wooden wine crates. These crates are stacked to create an interesting landscape of boxes that can function as stepped seating, climbing areas, tables, etc.
