Description

The Weekly Transcript is the Fall 2013 Brain Washing from Phone Towers Informational Pamphlet. An investigation of the history and uses of the minor islands of New York Harbor, it was produced in an edition of 200 while I was an artist in residence on Governors Island, as part of Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Swing Space program. Visitors to the studios on the island could pick up a copy at the Information Desk. The Weekly Transcript is an investigation of the minor islands of the New York City Archipelago: their history, use, and reuse. What do we keep on these islands and how do they relate to the city as a whole?
