Brick Head & Awesomeness @ GAGA
Posted on June 4, 2009 under Emergent News, Humor, Sustainability,
Hey all – Greg and I treked down to the Garnerville Industrial Arts Center in West Haverstraw, New York (actually to take a headshot for me). The complex, which houses tons of artists and craftsmen, is called GAGA (SoHo of the north). It’s a fantastic place. The Industrial Complex was built in the early 1800s by a man by the name of Garner, who owned a dieworks. It turns out that several artists living/working/crafting in GAGA graduated from Tufts University – good ole Jumbos. Brick Head is a product of ingenuity and absolute creative power. This is me admiring that work – we actually got really dirty/soaking wet/muddy/rusty (there’s rusting steel everwhere!) trying to climb through the creek to get to the brick head!
GAGA is a true representation of our sustainable past. Mr. Garner built a community in Garnerville, a community built upon the Minisceongo Creek for its hydro power potential. Imagine that – a community built for making fine dies.
