This fall, City as Living Laboratory (CaLL) continues its BROADWAY: 1000 Steps project with a series of WALKING DIALOGUES between artists and scientists. CaLL began conducting walks along Broadway in 2011 at the invitation of the Municipal Art Society. Building on earlier walks that have spanned the 18 mile length of Broadway, these WALKS will focus on three hubs of the avenue: 125th Street in Harlem, 34th Street in The Garment District, and Chinatown. The artist/scientist teams will discuss, between themselves and the public, a variety of environmental challenges along the Broadway corridor, with particular focus on surrounding neighborhoods. The WALKS will occur on two Saturdays, October 25 and November 1, 1PM to 4:30PM. A day’s schedule will include three artist/ scientist led tours lasting one hour each. The fall WALKS are being organized in partnership with NYU’s Institute for Public Knowledge (IPK) and Theatrum Mundi. Research for the WALKS are supported by students from the NYU Gallatin School of Individual Study. A panel discussion will be held at the Institute for Public Knowledge at New York University on Tuesday, December 2, 2014 to reflect on key experiences and hot topics that emerged through the walking dialogues (Details to follow). The CaLL/WALKS have been made possible with generous support from Agnes Gund, Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
