Jason Krugman’s Living Objects Press Release
JASON KRUGMAN’S LIVING OBJECTS—
MAJOR PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION IN McCARREN PARK
North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition (NbPac) is pleased to present Living Objects, a site-specific installation in McCarren Park, opening Sunday, November 22.
McCarren Park is the largest park in North Brooklyn, serving the entire region, drawing thousands of visitors each month. NbPac in collaboration with Open Space Alliance for North Brooklyn (OSA), the area’s premiere parks development and improvement nonprofit, is bringing the largest public art installation in McCarren Park’s recent history to our local communities.
Living Objects will feature three LED-lit sculptures on the roof of the Parks and Recreation Facilities building in the Northwestern area of the park. The illuminated figures will be perched on top of the building, greeting visitors and creating a captivating spectacle against the Brooklyn night sky.
Living Objects will build upon a long-standing tradition of temporary art installations in New York City parks, enhancing McCarren Park and making art accessible to all in North Brooklyn. The sculptures will engage the park’s regular users by evoking a sense of wonder and curiosity, creating a beacon of light attracting visitors and passers-by. NbPac and OSA are proud to revitalize our public spaces and further establish McCarren Park and North Brooklyn as destinations for arts and culture.
Please join us for a fundraiser for the project on Wednesday, November 11th at Berry Park (4 Berry St. between Nassau Ave. and N. 14th Street) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Also, please save the date for an opening celebration on November 22nd.

Moviehouse on India Street: Brooklyn Docs
Join us on the final day of summer for the final show of Moviehouse on India Street. We’ll be showing Brooklyn Docs on Monday, September 21 at 8:30 pm.
Two Brooklyn-based documentary teams take you inside our neighborhood, first with a look at pigeon farmers and second with a look at disappearing industry. It’s a fascinating look at where the neighborhood is now and where it might be in the next few years.
Filmmakers JL Aronson and Daniel Ross will be on hand to share their thoughts afterward.
Up on the Roof by JL Aronson
Up on the Roof follows several devoted pigeon keepers on Williamsburg’s south side through the rigors and rewards of a quintessential New York tradition. The film considers what we lose in the process of renewal and treats the audience like an insider in an unseen and —in many ways— vanishing world.
Uncertain Industry by Daniel Ross and Tom Vigliotta
New York City was once the capital of American manufacturing. In 1950, the city boasted nearly one million manufacturing jobs. By 2007 that number had dwindled to 100,000. Today, New York’s surviving factories face stiff competition from foreign imports, and they have to fight for space against condo developments and businesses ranging from art galleries to clothing stores. What has losing this vital source of jobs meant for New York’s economy?
It’s all projected on the mural at the end of India Street (between West Street and the East River in Greenpoint, Brooklyn). The India Street Mural Project is the kickoff project for North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition (NbPac) and presented with Council Member David Yassky. It is part of a greater urban revitalization for India Street, the waterfront, and the surrounding neighborhood. The event is part of a four night screening series called Moviehouse on India Street featuring projections by filmmakers, animators, and documentarians from Brooklyn and beyond.
The project is funded by Broadway Stages and presented in partnership with Open Space Alliance.

How the Mural Got Made on Sept 8th
Join the North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition and Moviehouse for an interactive screening of How The Mural Got Made at the India Street Mural on Tuesday, September 8.
The new-painted mural will literally come alive when six local filmmakers Lam Thuy Vo, Joshua Carrero, Sarah Pirozek, Vanara Taing, Nathan Punwar, Hiram Becker, and Chris King present the movies they created to capture the artists—Ali Aschman, Eve Biddle & Josh Frankel, Chris Soria, Joshua Abram Howard, Robert Seng, and Skewville—as they spent the month of June turning a common white wall into a master work of public art.
Each of the wall’s four empty spaces will simultaneously turn into a screen, inviting the audience into the world of the artists. After the screenings the filmmakers and artists will speak with each other and the audience about the creative process that went into creating the mural and the films. VJ Clay Franklin will open and close the show with his visual beats and graphics.
It’s all projected on the mural at the end of India Street (between West Street and the East River in Greenpoint, Brooklyn) in a free interactive environment with a spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline. The India Street Mural Project is the kickoff project for North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition (NbPac) and presented with Council Member David Yassky. It is part of a greater urban revitalization for India Street, the waterfront, and the surrounding neighborhood. The event is part of a four night screening series called Moviehouse on India Street featuring projections by filmmakers, animators, and documentarians from Brooklyn and beyond.
The project is funded by Broadway Stages and presented in partnership with Open Space Alliance. Additional support is provided by Che Bushwick.
