Marine Mischief Causes Confusion in New York Harbor

NEW YORK (The New York Times)—As reported in the New York Times, Brooklyn artist Duke Riley was able to float a make-shift submarine within 200 feet of the cruise ship the Queen Mary 2, which was docked in Red Hook. Riley’s performance art project was halted by the New York City Police Department and the Coast Guard, with the artist and his two assistants taken into custody for their stunt. Made to resemble the Turtle, a Revolutionary War era submarine, Riley's vessel was fabricated from plywood coated with fiberglass. The sub is scheduled to go on display soon at the Chelsea gallery Magnan Projects, after it and its captain have dried off.

And seriously, if anyone feels like they need to explore some bad ideas in submarine construction with me, the door is ALWAYS open (and can we maybe build a fort out of couch cushions too?)

Listen to THIS and get yourself in the mood.
