SUMMARY:Dreams of Water\, Bodies of Earth: Lenore Solmo and Chao Wang
DESCRIPTION:Dreams of Water\, Bodies of Earth is a dual exhibition that explores the intersection of natural and synthetic ecosystems through radiant aquatic installations and fantastical entomological paintings. \n\nBrooklyn-based artist Lenore Solmo reimagines single-use plastic bottles\, vintage jewelry parts\, and other found objects into luminous sea creatures\, oysters\, and seascapes. She transforms discarded items into a living record of human presence and plastic in the natural world\, documenting the ubiquity of the material and its environmental impact on our oceans.\n\nChao Wang‘s oil paintings focus on insects and terrestrial life\, observing delicate organisms that often exist unnoticed within our everyday environment. The Gowanus-based artist blurs the boundary between scientific observation and imagined ecology\, presenting insects as symbols of resilience\, transformation\, and interconnected intelligence.\n\nDreams of Water\, Bodies of Earth reflects on environmental fragility\, material transformation\, and the evolving relationship between living organisms and human-made worlds. Traversing between marine and terrestrial realms\, the exhibition explores how modern life shapes our views of nature.\n \nDreams of Water\, Bodies of Earth\nLenore Solmo and Chao Wang\nOn view Saturdays\, June 6\, 13\, 20\, 27\, 1pm–5pm\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, June 6\, 2pm–5pm\n \nWorkshop: Create Up-cycled Plastic Handbag Charms\nSaturday\, June 13\, 2pm–3:30pm\nSuited for ages 8 & up. Children must be accompanied by an adult.\n\nLenore Solmo – www.lenoresolmo.com @lenoresolmolifestyle \nChao Wang – chaowangart.com @chaowangart\n\nOur boathouse arts programing is possible thanks in part to the Brooklyn Arts Council Local Arts Support Grant

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop with Brian Ellis and The Gowanus Dredgers
DESCRIPTION:Gather materials for cyanotype printmaking on a short canoe paddle in Gowanus Bay! \n🎟️ RSVP REQUIRED🎟️ RSVP here \nJoin Brian Ellis and the Gowanus Dredgers for a mid-day cyanotype printmaking workshop! After a short discussion of the printmaking process\, we will paddle to a nearby location to gather materials for our prints. Upon returning to the Bunker \, we will set up and harvest the power of the sun to create some wonderful prints that participants will be able to take home the same day. Beyond the standard cyanotype process\, we will also cover wet cyanotype\, image transfer\, and coffee-based bleaching and toning as time allows. \nCost: Suggested donation of $5-10\, however no one turned away for lack of funds. We want this to be accessible to everyone\, please contact us if you have a financial hardship. \nRSVP Required as seats are limited. \nAbout the Artist: Brian Ellis is a process-based cyanotype artist who uses the medium to explore human physicality and detritus. Using their practice to document meaning-making in the context of waste\, degradation\, and impermanence\, Brian’s cyanotype work utilizes wet cyanotype\, singing\, portraiture\, interview\, and print toning.

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. \nMay17 Linda Lerner\, Patricia Carrigton\, Abigail Welhouse\, Bill Lessard \nJune7 Susan Michele\, Gregory Crosby\, Melinda Wilson\, Dennis Nurkse14 Donna Masini\, Richard Smith\, Maria Lisella\, Elizabeth T Gray Jr.28 Elaine Sexton\, Karen Hildebrand\, Don Yorty\, Judith Lee Herbert \nJuly12 David Katz\, Estha Wiener\, Shean Nevin\, Katherine Swett19 Sarah Wallace\, Ashley Mabitt\, Zoe White\, and Michael T.
