Swoon’s Swimming Cities

0 comments

September 4, 2008

Contemporary artist Swoon has designed and organized a number of rag-tag looking boats as part of the Swimming Cities of the Switchback Sea installation – her second major installation for Deitch projects. Swimming cities of Switchback Sea is a flotilla of seven “intricately hand crafted” vessels that have been navigating a stretch of the Hudson River between Troy and the New York harbor this summer.

Collaborators include playwright Lisa D’Amour and Jeff Stark who worked on boat design.

There are several photos of the ships on Gothamist and in the NY Times.
