10-20 Participants needed for Post Industrial Folk Wear Project

Itineraries of flux and drift are charted in notes scrawled on the sleeve of a jacket, the intersection of people, thought, and geography. Participants will be provided jackets made of durable house wrap: upon which they will imprint their time based experience of being in Brooklyn. The material is durable and recyclable, has the appearance of being fragile and takes a pen really well. While jackets are protective outerwear, these jackets will become testimonies to a blurring of the internal and external experience, private public, inside outside, yours or mine. Participants are asked to set some initial perimeters – to wear the jacket for an extended period of time, to wander the streets, to map a journey, to sit on a bench and record thoughts, involve others, to draw, to give and receive directions, to re-use material, etc…. To do whatever comes to mind, to record, directly onto the jacket as they pass through the public landscape.
