SwitchBack


Image from SuperTouch

Last night I hit the opening of Swoon's, Swimming Cities of the Switchback Sea, and although the boats were glorious (and I practically howled at the moon for not being able to board one) the real treat was the MASSIVE installation Swoon put together in the Deitch LIC space.

The two sisters of the Switchback embraced each other amidst a drove of Swoons characters, found materials, paper cuts, wheat pastes, wood carvings, and a handful of vintage snapshots. I killed my camera getting close-ups.

Scribe Media did a piece on the install...update later with a link.

Im looking forward to the performances this weekend. Nothing like bike-punks turned boat-punks rocking pirate gear and singing to the masses.
