The Gowanus Canal, ripe with gonohorrea, served as a very unlikely muse for artist David Eustace. He worked on his Gowanus-drenched art project for two years, so technically he started before the canal's STD was diagnosed (but really, who didn't think it a possibility at that point). So, in the market for some art? These pieces were, in fact, dipped in the canal -- and will be again!

The exhibition revolves around four large works hung in the canal at three-month intervals. Each canvas was primed beforehand with symbols, notations, & references used to account for and keep track of time, such as lunar phases, tide tables & constellation movement. Raw iron filings were used in each work, to help develop the central image. more ›
