Searching For Something Previously Unknown or Forgotten on Governors Island
An exhibition by Matthew Jensen
Matthew Jensen’s project Searching For Something Previously Unknown or Forgotten on Governors Island combines landscape photography, collections of artifacts found lying in plain sight, video, and installation to reconnect the Island back to New York City. His images will index overgrown lots and put inaccessible areas back into public view. The work will be shown along with his ongoing project Nowhere In Manhattan, which uses the classical idea of wonderment when exploring the last parcels of “nowhere” throughout the borough.
Dates and Times
July 23 – August 29
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 24, 3–5PM
