Hello My Name Is: Dark-Eyed Junco
Birdwatching installation
November 22, 2008, Calvert Vaux Park, Brooklyn
Junco is a response to the immanent installation of six artificial turf soccer fields scheduled to begin at Calvert Vaux Park November 24th 2008. The renovation will significantly change the park’s natural habitat, which serves as a temporary and permanent home to a variety of birds. The interactive play begins in a decentralized fashion at various stations around the park that humorously “teach” people about birding- transforming the entire area into a kind of military base configuration of psychic avian awareness. The audience will then come together and use the skills they’ve learned in an actual bird-watching tour led by experienced birder Alex Wilson.
