Fading Ads of Greenpoint Walking Tour<\/strong>
\nStart: 03\/18\/2012 2:00 pm
\nTimezone: America\/New York<\/p>\n

Location:<\/strong>
\n126 Franklin St.
\nBrooklyn, New York
\n11222-2002
\nUnited States<\/address>\n

Get a glimpse into Greenpoint\u2019s history with a walking tour, led by author and photographer Frank Jump. For nearly 20 years, Jump has been documenting the fading ads that are visible, but less often seen, all over New York. Disappearing from the sides of buildings or hidden by new construction, these signs tell the stories of the businesses, places and people whose lives transpired among them.<\/p>\n

New York City is eternally evolving. From its iconic skyline to its side alleys, the new is perpetually being built on the debris of the past. But a movement to preserve the city\u2019s vanishing landscapes has emerged. They weave together the city\u2019s unique history, culture, environment and society and tell the stories of the businesses, places and people–the story of New York itself. This photo-documentary is also a study of time and space, of mortality and living, as Jump\u2019s campaign to capture the ads mirrors his own struggle with HIV. Experience the ads–shot with vintage Kodachrome film–and the meaning they carry through acclaimed photographer and urban documentarian Frank Jump\u2019s lens.<\/p>\n

During the walking tour and book-signing, Jump will offer a glimpse into Greenpoint’s commercial advertising history through remnant fading ads. Don\u2019t let the tour leave without you! We\u2019ll be meeting at the store at 2 p.m., where Frank will introduce the book and give us an overview for the walk, and then we\u2019ll head out at 2:30 p.m. Rain or shine! (If it rains, we\u2019ll have a virtual slideshow tour at WORD instead.) Facebook RSVP appreciated!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
