Sasha making some final installation decisions.
A diorama (of sorts) of the Battle of Brooklyn made with matches, sand, and garbage by Sasha Chavchavadze and Eva Melas.
Cockade making supplies for my project, Be A Rebel Or Just Look Like One.
Coffe cup installation by Eva Melas.
Map and boat head piece by Paul Benney and Katie Smertz that was used in their performance on August 27th (the anniversary of the battle) at Smith and Bergen Streets in Brooklyn.
Some rebellious cockades.
This one, made by an artist in a neighboring studio, took my own rebellious message to heart but perhaps with a touch of self-interest?
I survey the battleground in my tri-corner hat. Why do I look like I am just back from a yoga class? Because it was so unbelievably hot and humid on Saturday! People were barely able to concentrate on the art, let alone get psyched about making a rebellious cockade. Yet, it was a fun day and we had a nice, steady stream of visitors, who were nearly all very excited by our project. Some even said they would vote for us. I am a little ashamed to admit that it gave me a thrill each time someone said that.
