GOTHAM AWARDS 2011
for the last two weeks, we've been busy working on the stage set for the IFP (Independent Filmmaker Project) Gotham Awards ceremony - design, production and installation. The event was held in the cavernous Cipriani on Wall St, was an amazing bash with all your favorite film stars and went very well. Just for scale - the stage is 24 feet wide

NOVEMBER 1ST THURSDAY

Thursday 6-9 (opening). Friday-Saturday 12-7pm, Sunday 12-6pm


For first Thursday in DUMBO and through the weekend, spring is hosting an installation of dual videos by Jeanne Wilkinson. VOYAGE  is a project involving the 'liberation' of the two bronze panthers that stare off over the buildings from the entrance to Prospect Park - they stride outwards but go nowhere, each standing on a high pedestal, forever separated by a wide strip of blacktop. In many places where they used to roam, they have been all but eradicated. These iconic symbols now live more in our imagination than in reality. 

Formerly an abstract painter, Jeanne Wilkinson now incorporates her paintings and drawings into complex and mysterious digital collages and animations.  Her first animation – “GreenHeart” – was screened at BAM-Rose Cinema in “Scene:  Brooklyn” sponsored by the Brooklyn Arts Council.  Her work has been shown extensively both in New York City and internationally.  She teaches art and art history at Kingsborough Community College (CUNY) and Pratt Institute.


This exhibition was made possible by a Faculty Development grant from Pratt Institute
