May I kindly rally the troops (a.k.a. you) to back Triple Canopy/Light Industry/The Public School’s 155 Freeman project on Kickstarter? This fall, the triumvirate moves to a new space at 155 Freeman Street in Greenpoint. Help support their first year of programming by backing the project at any level for incentives by Cory Arcangel, Paul Chan, Rivka Galchen, and R. H. Quaytman. (NB: a $150 donation garners free admission to all events for an entire year. Light Industry screenings alone are $7 a weekly pop. Math time! Deal.)
Do it for the love film, publishing and pedagogy! Do it to score art for well below market value! Do it because you love Greenpoint and want to see it grow the right way! Back the project. And pardon my enthusiasm, but if Spencer Tunick can rake in $96K via Kickstarter ($60K from a single backer!) to roll out his show in the Dead Sea, I feel confident that the rest of us can scrape together some loose change for three of New York City’s most promising nonprofits. Yeah, I just went there.
