Big thanks to Lisa Bowden and Kore Press for asking me to write an essay about the transition from art to... whatever 21st Century Plowshare is becoming. You should go read it.
Seriously, things are getting interesting in Bed Stuy. While there are just about zero wildflowers, there is talk about starting a nonprofit whose goal is to ensure that there is no such thing as vacant land in Bed Stuy--that every single lot is either turned into a community garden or interim-farmed.
Right now this is mostly just talk, but I don't doubt the seriousness of the people I am working with and of course, I generally endeavor not just to follow through, but to have relentless followthrough. We may fail, but if we do we will fail spectacularly. Something interesting will happen. I'll be writing more about it.
