Check out Buscada’s blog, which has a preview video of the exhibition.

Opening events on January 31:
Curator’s gallery talk w/ Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani, 6:30pm
Opening reception to follow, 7-9pm

Exhibition: January 23 – February 25, 2012

Where: Aronson Galleries : 66 Fifth Avenue at 13th Street, New York City

More than forty years ago, New York City took ownership of 14 square blocks on the Lower East Side for urban renewal and “slum clearance.” Its legacy is a row of parking lots on the south side of Delancey Street. Few renewal projects have been so contested, and very few of the originally-planned buildings were built. This is SPURA, the Seward Park Urban Renewal Area, one of the largest underdeveloped city-owned parcels of land.

The Layered SPURA / City Studio project, headed by Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani, explores this complex site using a hybrid approach of pedagogy, art and research, and involves long-term collaborations between Lower East Side community organizations and students in Bendiner-Viani’s City Studio, a part of the New School’s Urban Programs. This exhibition, a culmination of four years of student, faculty, and community collaboration, does not suggest solutions for a place beleaguered by top-down planning, but rather hopes to spur new conversations amongst people with different points of view about SPURA’s past, present and future.

The project has collaborated with many local community and art organizations including Good Old Lower East Side, Pratt Center for Community Development, Place Matters, common room, Buscada, Henry Street Settlement’s Abrons Art Center and Creative Time.

Even as America honors Dr. King’s birthday, his dream is being gunned down before our eyes, amidst a terrible economic crisis arising from corruption and greed.

January 13–22, people across the country will gather, reflect, and commit to rebuilding the American Dream and Dr. King’s dream in 2012. We will honor Dr. King by ensuring the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement stays alive and vibrant in today’s movement for the 99%. Together, we will start the New Year right.

We hope you will join in, and even host a meet-up of your own! We hope to see hundreds of meet-ups in local libraries, community centers, and living rooms across the country.
