This event has ended.

"Nowhere In Manhattan" is an ongoing project by New York City based artist Matthew Jensen. The intent of the work is to locate, explore, document, promote and protect the last parcels of nowhere remaining within the borough of Manhattan. For the scope of the project, "nowhere" is defined as a place that has been neglected and from this neglect has achieved the status of an organic non-place; a perfect combination of the built and natural. From these places one cannot say, "I am in a park" or "I am in the city" because neither appears to be true. Being in a location that lacks both identity and the presence of control offers a mental and visual release for New Yorkers, who may find it exhausting to live in the most identifiable city in the world.
