TONIGHT! Brooklyn Public Library
Twilight on the Waterfront: Brooklyn's Vanishing Industrial Heritage
Word from filmmaker and photographer Nathan Kensinger is that his exhibit opening today at the Brooklyn Public Library (Grand Army Plaza) contains "a great triptych of those shots from inside the Atlantic Yards construction zone." Check out Kensinger's web site here.
Gothamist, As Ikea Opens, Exhibit Looks Back at Old Waterfront
Opening [today] as a counterpoint to the Red Hook Ikea kick-off is a photography exhibit at the Brooklyn Public Library that chronicles the disappearing industrial sites along Brooklyn's waterfront. Called "Twilight on the Waterfront: Brooklyn's Vanishing Industrial Heritage," the photographs are the work of Nathan Kensinger, who has compiled an impressive body of work over the last five years by sneaking into dilapidated properties around Brooklyn.
Kensinger's show opens [tonight] with an event from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Central Library at Grand Army Plaza – so there'll be plenty of time to swing by after picking up a couple POÄNG chairs at the Ikea grand opening.
