Brooklyn, NY – 10/15/11 – Proteus Gowanus – Art Event for Christina Kelley

... from Christina's letter.... "To try to make a long story short -- I've been growing broomcorn on the banks of the Gowanus all summer and during this event we've hired a Master broom maker to create two Gowanus Brooms from the crop. The brooms represent the efforts to clean up the canal (get it..?). Anyway, we thought it would be nice to have some live music at the event as well. The directors of the gallery though fiddle music. Music to make brooms by! Basically this guy is going to make the brooms in front of whoever comes. There is going to be a slide show going of the garden over the past 3 months and some drinks."

I'm going to play fiddle tunes in the corner. Some new and a bunch of old. People will mill around and drink wine. Fun!
