MARKET DAY
ART, MUSIC & FOOD
Sunday, July 11
The old historic fish stalls of the Fulton Market Building have now been reinvented as a weekly food and farmers market and keeping in line with this healthy offering to the community, six up-and-coming artists have been commissioned to create new work specifically for the stalls. Drawing from the street art and design scenes, these six artists are interpreting imagery from the last hundred years of the Seaport’s market history to integrate its past into the evolving landscape of local markets cropping up in our city today.
The exhibit, New Lenses, goes on display this weekend during market hours (Sunday, 11-6pm) and will remain a part of the market through the end of September. Join us this weekend for a reception (3-6pm) and live musical performance. Seaport resident artist Naima Rauam will be exhibiting her work during market hours and NYC market expert, blogger and author Karen Seiger of Markets of New York City will be on hand signing her aptly-titled book, Markets of New York City from 12-3pm.
New Lenses features work by:
Rachael Wheeler
Astrid Andujar
Christiner Rucker
Jon Boksel
Sarah Valeri
Mike Pearson

There will also be a live performance at the market at 5pm by Nonhorse, who will continue the reinterpretive elements by remixing cassettes and hawking self-help tapes with titles such as: Learn Theoretical Physics, Fear of The Maze, and You Are Good.
Nonhorse is G. Lucas Crane, a sound artist, performer, and musician whose work focuses on information anxiety, media confusion, and recycled technology. Using a combination field recordings culled from the underbelly of the contemporary sonic media landscape and homemade electronic instruments, oscillators and broken machines, he creates compositions and performances as a reaction to, and illustration of, our information detritus choked times.
RECEPTION: Sunday, July 11th, 3-6pm (performance @ 5pm)
ON VIEW: Every Sunday through the end of September (11am-6pm)
WHERE: Fulton Stall Market: South Street between Fulton and Beekman Streets
