Voyeur: A Photo Documentation of the FIGMENT Participatory Arts Event - Opening on Governors Island Sunday, August 10, 2-5 p.m. What: Earlier this summer over 10,000 people came to Governors Island over the course of three days to engage with art projects from over 200 artists. This highly eclectic 100% volunteer effort was a major success for non-commercial art in New York City. While the ruckus has subsided the artistic fervor remains. Voyeur is a photographic exhibition covering the merriment of FIGMENT 2008 located in Building 14 of New York’s most exciting parkland island. For more information on FIGMENT see www.figmentnyc.org.
When: Voyeur opens Sunday, August 10, 2008. Join us for an opening celebration from 2-5 p.m. The exhibit runs until October 12, 2008. Voyeur will be open for viewing Fridays 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
Where: Building 14 on Governors Island. Free ferries to the island leave every hour from the Battery Maritime Building in lower Manhattan (right next door to the Staten Island Ferry). For details see http://www.govisland.com/
Who: Voyeur is curated by a team of FIGMENT volunteers who just couldn’t get enough and features images from over 30 photographers.
Cost: Free
What else: While you’re on Governors Island, don’t miss the City of Dreams Mini-golf course. FIGMENT's free mini-golf course features holes from nine different artists and will be open Fridays through Sundays for the duration of the summer. Donations are accepted to help fund FIGMENT 2009.
