“A Short Season in the Navy Yard” is a continuation of the artist’s focus on urban construction, land use, and its implied impact on city history which began with her show in September 2003 entitled “718: Changing Neighborhoods in Brooklyn & Queens”.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard, which, like so many industrial areas in the country that once formed the backbone of our nation’s economy, now reflects the country’s shift away from massive manufacturing to mid- size businesses but it still serves traditional marine maintenance needs. With the city’s current and almost myopic focus on Waterfront Real Estate, The Yard also provides the sand, gravel and cement that will build the new stadiums and structures the city’s planners promise.
