H2O Arts
our YouTube page quick video intro 2007 Puccini
opera PortSide will host and produce art exhibits, readings, performances, movies etc. about, or inspired by, water and the waterfront. We like staging these in working waterfront locations. If you have an H2O Arts idea for us, to do on the Whalen or some other location, please email John Weaver at H2Oarts(at)portsidenewyork.org. Readings from The
Graving Dock by Gabriel Cohen We promised Literary Culture+Industrial Grit and we delivered it. This event at GMD Shipyard's Tailshaft+Valve Shop was a hit. "Best book event I ever attended," said one book publisher. The rain held, the fog lifted, and many attendees ogled and photographed the huge graving dock where welding was underway on the tugboat exhaust stacks. Once inside, folks chatted over hot cider, beer, wine and sandwiches while a slide show of images, overlaid with quotes from the novel, was projected on the shed wall. The hangar-sized space became intimate. A video of the churning waters of the Buttermilk Channel lit up the wall behind Gabriel Cohen while he read. BookCourt did a lively business selling books at the end. Thank you, GMD, for use of the space and for building that surprise podium for the author! and thanks to the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative for help at the event.
