Site-Specific Works at Newtown Creek

Artists created site-responsive works for the waterfront.

The Newtown Creek Nature Walk is a small place in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, that brings art and nature together. It’s an odd nature walk surrounding the sanitation facility. George Trakas conceptualized this site-specific environmental work, challenging the boundaries between industrial utility and natural life.

Here for us as artists, beauty is not the goal; rather, presentness.
