Works on Water Triennial

LMCC’s Arts Cen­ter at Gov­er­nors Island will serve as the hub and cen­tral exhi­bi­tion space for The Works on Water 2025 Tri­en­ni­al, a mul­ti-sit­ed exhi­bi­tion and series of pub­lic art inter­ven­tions cre­at­ed in response to the glob­al cli­mate cri­sis that have all been made on, in, and with bod­ies of water. The exhi­bi­tion, curat­ed by Emi­ly Blu­men­feld and Kendal Hen­ry with the Works on Water team, frames the grow­ing genre of Water Art as a defin­ing envi­ron­men­tal art form of the 21^st cen­tu­ry, explor­ing themes of access, exploita­tion, con­ser­va­tion, reme­di­a­tion, and care. Now in its third edi­tion, this dynam­ic tri­en­ni­al invites New York­ers to expe­ri­ence and reimag­ine the edges of the city through site-spe­cif­ic, par­tic­i­pa­to­ry, and time-based works, in part­ner­ship with Wildlife Con­ser­va­tion Society/​NY Aquar­i­um, South Street Sea­port, and North Brook­lyn Boat Club.

Join for an exhi­bi­tion open­ing on Thurs­day, August 28, 5 – 9pm. The exhi­bi­tion will be on view from August 28 – Octo­ber 26, on Fri­days, 3 – 7 pm, and Sat­ur­days & Sun­days, 12 – 6 pm.
