First event for The Foreshore, hosted by Access Gallery and Other Sights. We had three speakers from varying backgrounds (poet, researcher, artist) discuss how they inhabit “grey zones” (i.e., areas of unregulated space such as easements, corridors, and through-ways in public space). Very stimulating discussion, and as we move forward, Barbara and Kimberly continue to work to improve the format of the events and bring in different elements such as film and workshops. Some images from the talk below.

Ideas to think about include:

• paradox of the rational
• easements
• slowness (i.e., travel by boat, shipping container, etc)
• visual recording
• grey zones
• Istanbul Biennale’s connection to water
• styrofoam shorelines
