SUMMARY:The Fall | Dan Noble & Robin Roi
DESCRIPTION:The Fall | Dan Noble & Robin Roi\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, September 6\, 5-7pm\nOn view Saturdays\, September\, 6\, 13\, 20\, 27\, 1-5pm or by appointment\nCurated by Pam Wong \nFeaturing paintings by Dan Noble and collage works by Robin Roi\, The Fall contemplates human fragility and resilience. \nDan Noble’s recent paintings explore the profound and unsettling moment of falling\, focusing on the human body in motion and the moment when the body succumbs to gravity. While the act of falling carries a sense of danger\, the focus of this collection is not on the impact\, but on the journey down—that brief\, weightless instant when the mundane world dissolves and a person is suspended between solid ground and an uncertain future. The figures exist in a liminal space\, an instance of pure\, unchoreographed movement. \nNoble’s paintings explore the moments when we are most vulnerable. But within that vulnerability\, there is beauty and grace — the human spirit that\, despite the fall\, may eventually rise again. \nRobin Roi’s works combine three of her loves – paper\, pattern\, and narrative. The Four Fiancés and Milagros are composed with Joss paper\, a symbolic material traditionally burned as an offering during Buddhist and Taoist funerals or ceremonies honoring ancestors. “Milagros” or “miracles” are a form of Latin American folk art related to faith and healing. The small charms are typically placed on altars as offerings or symbols of devotion\, \nRepresenting formal wear and finery from another era\, Roi’s pieces consider mortality\, tradition\, and hope. \nhttps://www.robroidesign.com/\n@robroidesign

SUMMARY:A Persistence of Cormorants Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:A Persistence of Cormorants is a summer-long poetry reading series on our shoreline featuring accomplished and exceptional poets from the New York area\, many of who live in Brooklyn. On each of the scheduled Sundays\, from 1:30 to 3:30\, up to four featured poets will read for 10 to 15 minutes each. \nGerry reads poetry at the canal\nThe readings will be followed by open mic time limited to ten readers (one poem no longer than 3 minutes) who have signed up the day of the reading on a first come basis. \nReading will be outdoors at the Gowanus open shoreline and we invite you to engage with the emerging Gowanus Canal habitat as we witness the EPA conduct their SuperFUN/d cleanup program. Event may move to inside the boathouse if it begins to rain or we want to escape the summer heat. If other activity is occurring on the street or esplanade\, event may move inside. \nParticipation is free but we encourage donations to sustain the efforts of the Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club\, an advocacy stewardship organization who has been representing neighborhood interests for over two decades. \nMay4th: Gregory Crosby\, Brad Vogel\, Melinda Wilson\, Anthony Cappo18th: Scott Hightower\, Abigail Wellhouse\, Kristina Andersson\, Estha Weiner 25th: Michael Broder\, James Diaz\, Kristine Esser Stenz\, Sarah Sari \nJune1st: Susan Cohen\, Sarah Wallace\, Jiwon Choi\, Caroline Hagood 8th: Jo Solfren\, Amy Lemmon\, Sam Cha\, TBA22nd: Bruce E.
