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:Clean Tech 2014: Incentives for Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Bard MBA in Sustainability is partnering with Sustainability Practice Network to host a panel featuring leaders from the clean tech industry and financing sectors to discuss the emerging incentives for innovation in the greater New York City region. \nInvited Panelists: David Gilford\, Vice President\, New York City Economic Development Corporation; Arrun Kapoor\, Managing Director\, SJF Ventures\, Ashok Gupta\, Director of Energy Policy\, Natural Resources Defense Council; Morris Cox\, Co-Founder\, Chief Investment Officer\, Bloc Power; Caroline Angoorly\, Chief Operating Officer & Managing Director\, New York Green Bank; Bruce Kahn\, Portfolio Manager\, Sustainable Insight Capital Management. \nFrom start-ups to large corporations and national governments\, organizations worldwide are embracing cleantech as a means of growth\, efficiency and competitive advantage. According to the National Intelligence Council\, global demand for energy is projected to jump by 50 percent by the year 2030. Initiatives today are addressing this demand through venture capitalist impact investing\, partnerships between the public and private sectors and policy analysis of the recent energy trends.  As cleantech enables the transformation of a variety of industries\, old and new\, to be part of a more resource-efficient and low-carbon economy\, we see innovation in technology\, business models\, financing mechanisms\, cross-industry partnerships and corporate adoption. \nPlease register on Eventbrite here: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/clean-tech-2014-incentives-for-innovation-tickets-14046440281?aff=es2&rank=7 \n

SUMMARY:The Rise and Fall of the Gowanus Canal
DESCRIPTION:The history of the Gowanus Canal–from its natural origins as a tidal estuary to its creation as a navigable\, man-made waterway and sewer–can be viewed as a microscope for following the rise and fall of the industrial age in America\, as well as the city of New York. \nJoseph Alexiou will discuss some of the earliest uses of Gowanus land\, how it became a site of controversy in the mid-19th century\, and the parallels between the real estate issues of today. \nA journalist and history nerd\, Joseph Alexiou works as an Associate Editor at Time Out New York and is writing a book on the history of the Gowanus Canal. He also likes France\, looseleaf tea\, old buildings\, and vocal harmony. \nEvent details: November 12\, 2014\, 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM\,  at FIND Furnishings (43 9th St.\, between Smith St. and 2nd Ave.) in Brooklyn. \nThe event is free\, please register here: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/lecture-the-rise-fall-of-the-gowanus-canal-tickets-13436622299
