A meeting with Marcin Ramocki Picture: Weronika Szmuc Brooklyn DIYThe ArtBoom Festival will see the European premiere of Marcin Ramocki’s latest film – Brooklyn DIY – (Brooklyn Do It Yourself). The film was first screened during the Documentary Fortnight at MoMA (11th - 25th February 2009). Ramocki documents the creative renaissance in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, home to underground warehouse parties, performance spaces, and a place of unrestrained street creativity of anarchistic origin. Brooklyn DIY is an attempt at capturing life in a utopian environment, it presents interviews with scores of artists and neighbourhood characters; the activities of galleries run in the 1980’s by artists for artists. This way we get closer to the truth about the birth of one of the most vibrant and rebellious artistic communities, which has permanently changed New York's cultural landscape. |
