SUMMARY:Gowanus Wild by Miska Draskoczy
DESCRIPTION:Pho­to­graph by Miska Draskoczy.\n \nA new photography exhibit called “Gowanus Wild” is on display from October 10-November 16\, 2014 at the Ground Floor Gallery in Brooklyn. \nIn the words of artist Miska Draskoczy\,  \n\nSilence. A lack of humans. Light on textured abstraction. Chaotic forms unfolding all around you\, creating a hypnosis of spirit that just might convince you there is a Creator after all. These are the qualities I think of when experiencing ‘wilderness’. And yet the same tingle runs down my spine while wandering the industrial streets of Gowanus\, Brooklyn\, at night. \nI aim to turn concepts of nature photography on their head by finding the beautiful in what most consider to be a man-made environmental catastrophe. The Gowanus Canal is one of the most polluted waterways in the country and the neighborhood has seen continuous industrial use since the 19th century. My vision is to capture a marriage of opposites; the organic in the industrial\, green within blacks and grays\, stillness and peace in urban chaos. \nAs our urban communities grapple with how to connect with the primeval in a world that offers sterile potted plants as an outlet to nature\, I see Gowanus Wild as an urban hiking manual\, a continuation of generations of landscape photography\, updated for our technological age. If only we adjust our perception of what is ‘nature’ and ‘wild’ around us\, a fascinating wilderness can be found in the fringes of our decaying city where nature and chaos conspire to produce a new type of wild beauty. \n\nOn view: October 10-November 9\, 2014. \nREGULAR HOURS: Thursday: 12pm – 6pm\, Friday: 12pm – 6pm\, Saturday: 12pm – 6pm\, Sunday: 11am – 5pm. And by appointment. \nArtist-led Gowanus walking tour: Sunday\, November 9\, 5:00-7:00p.m.  \nGround Floor Gallery\, 343 5th St. Park Slope\, Brooklyn\, www.groundfloorbk.com

SUMMARY:A Changing Landscape: Public Space and the New Administration
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Barrett Doherty \nIn recent years\, the profession of landscape architecture appears to have taken the lead from urban design\, planning\, and even architecture as the primary generator of public space in New York City. The Bloomberg administration was seen as supportive of design\, focused on new forms of urban space such as bicycle lanes and small private parks integrated into public space. Was public participation left out of the Mayor’s equation? What about the private financing of public spaces? \nFocused on public housing and related initiatives\, Mayor De Blasio’s administration seems to have a different outlook\, perhaps viewing design as more of a middle-class prerogative concentrated in certain areas of the city\, and therefore less of a priority. If so\, what is happening to Bloomberg’s legacy in the design arena? In what is sure to be a lively discussion\, this program will poll several of New York’s landscape design leaders for their opinions on these issues and how they are playing out across the five boroughs. \nPresenters: \nSusannah Drake\, FASLA\, AIA\, Principal\, dlandstudio architecture + landscape architecture PLLC\nGonzalo V. Cruz\, ASLA\, Creative Director\, Landscape Architecture Studio NYC\, AECOM\nAdam Yarinsky\, FAIA\, Principal\, Architecture Research Office \nModerator: William Menking\, Editor-in-Chief\, The Architect’s Newspaper \nOrganized by: AIANY Marketing and Communications Committee \nPrice: Free for AIA members; $10 for non-members \nFor more information\, please visit: http://cfa.aiany.org/
