Swoon’s latest project, a fleet of boats traveling down the Hudson will be making a stop at Riverside Park Pier I (70th St & Hudson River) tonight for a homecoming performance at 8pm. Their final destination will be Deitch Studios in Long Island City on Sunday, September 7th for an opening reception.

More on the project:

SWOON’s “Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea,” a fleet of seven intricately crafted boats fashioned out of scrap wood and other salvaged materials, will embark on a voyage down the Hudson River from Troy, NY to Deitch Studios in Long Island City, Queens. A performance, guided by OBIE award-winning playwright Lisa D’Amour will be delivered from the decks of the vessels and the banks of the river in towns along the route. Each raft is powered with alternative energy sources, including bio-fuels and solar power. SWOON’s larger-than-life “invented landscape” installation at Deitch Studios will receive the fleet September 7. The show opens to the public that day.
