Six Foot Platform: Weiyun Chen and Supatida Sutiratana

The Dumbo Improvement District presents programming its third iteration of The Six Foot Platform, presented in partnership with the Brooklyn Arts Council. Brooklyn-based artists were chosen by a panel to participate in full-day residencies on a 6’ by 6’ platform on Washington Street—one of New York City’s most iconic blocks.

“The issue of waste management has become a global concern, and the world’s waste production is increasing at an alarming rate. To address this issue, the SUPERTRASH project aims to create awareness about the importance of recycling waste and making trash valuable. The audience will actively participate in the exhibition by bringing in their own pieces of trash or using trash collected by the artist through different industries to create their own unique characters, joining in the creative and fun exploration of sustainability.”

In the event of inclement weather, a contingency plan will be announced on Instagram, @Dumbo_Brooklyn.
