Sarah Beddington "Crossing"
Dumbo Arts Center
This event has ended.
Crossing is a site-specific, mixed media installation responding to DAC’s ship-like interior and past maritime activity of the waterfront neighbourhood of Dumbo, Brooklyn. The exhibition’s premise draws on the story of ‘The Experiment’, the second ship to make a direct crossing to China from the newly independent United States in 1785. Over two hundred years later Beddington weaves an array of fragments backwards and forwards through time and space while interposing details of the historic voyage with current global realities including trade, transport, cultural exchange, migration, and travel.
