Centroids and asphalt

Neil Freeman, 2010
participatory walk
variable duration

An art walk given in Bushwick, Brooklyn during the summer of 2010.

The walk visits hidden loci of New York City - invisible hinge-points upon which the city's people, buildings and population turn. Centroids and Asphalt explores our physical interactions with the street and how to reconcile these encounters with a conceptual, bird's-eye view of the city. Participants physically map both their perceptions and realities at different points and use drawing, map-making, and careful study to form new narratives from our everyday environment.
