Urban Crossroads: Reimagining Jersey City’s Abandoned Infrastructure: Dineen Hull Gallery
(March 12 - April 18, 2019)
My recycled art installation "The Curve" (represented the shape of Jersey City map) has been displayed in “Urban Crossroads: Reimagining Jersey City’s Abandoned Infrastructure” Exhibition, Curated by Rahid Cornejo and Sean Gallagher at Hudson County Community College (HCCC) Dineed Hull Gallery.
“Urban Crossroads: Reimagining Jersey City’s Abandoned Infrastructure” is the result of a comprehensive four-month study aimed at changing the landscape through collaboration, networking, and community activism. Collaborators include New Jersey Institute of Technology’s College of Architecture and Design, Rutgers University’s Master of Landscape Architecture, Jersey City Art Council’s Architecture and Design Committee, and the newly formed Bergen Arches Preservation in partnership with Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy and Jersey City Reservoir Preservation Alliance.
The exhibition of students’ physical models, graphics on boards, and other works showcases potential new land uses and programs of an abandoned corridor in the heart of a growing urban environment for Jersey City’s 2060 Redevelopment Plan. Areas such as the Bergen Arches, the Sixth Street Embankment, Reservoir No. 3, and Liberty State Park are rich with abandoned rail and industrial sites. Exhibition attendees will see how a floating forest and forgotten ravine could link Jersey City to the United States East Coast Greenway.
This exhibition is the collaborative research of New Jersey Institute of Technology’s College of Architecture and Design, Rutgers University’s Master of Landscape Architecture, the Jersey City Arts Council’s Architecture and Design Committee, and the newly formed Bergen Arches Preservation Coalition.
