poster for "New York: Past, Present, and Possible Future" Discussion

This event has ended.

This panel will engage New York’s landscape at three distinct moments in history. Eric W. Sanderson, leader of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Mannahatta Project, will discuss Manhattan island in 1609; Matthew Coolidge, of the Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI), will speak about “Up River: Points of Interest from The Battery to Troy,” CLUI’s study of the “sculpted landscape” of today’s Hudson River; and Matthew Sharpe will read from his novel Jamestown, which is partially set in an imaginary future Manhattan. Moderated by Brian Sholis, editor of Artforum.com.
