New Views: DUMBO
2002
LMCC created New Views: DUMBO in April 2002 to provide studio residencies to six of the Studioscape painters who were displaced from their World Trade Center spaces by the events of September 11, 2001 in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn. Thanks to a generous space donation from Two Trees Management Co. LMCC was able to continue the real estate model, of creating artists studios in donated space, developed with the Port Authority in the World Trade Center. New Views: DUMBO offered resident artists critical distance from the post-9/11 landscape of Lower Manhattan, allowing them to examine the city’s urban, social, psychological, civic, and historical dimensions from a different perspective. Views from the studios were literally framed by the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. A second group of nine more artists working in various media participated in a three-month residency from July through October 2002. New Views: DUMBO culminated in an open studios event for both sessions in October 2002.
