DUMBO
Pearl & Water St
Enjoy the curated collection of lighting installations created by local and international lighting designers and performance artists and technologists who work within the medium of light.
This year, this cultural spectacle takes place after dark in DUMBO, Brooklyn, New York, in the Archway under the Manhattan Bridge and Pearl Street Triangle (Pearl & Water St).
Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, New York City joins the prestigious and exclusive list of cities including London and Berlin to have a shinning and amazing Festival of Lights. Head to DUMBO November 6–8 to the free New York Festival of Lights to witness special curated light installations, illuminated sculptures and even technology generated by light. Interact with renowned artists as they take over this tiny neighborhood in Brooklyn and transform it into a city of millions of lights.
This year four artists’s works have been selected to be featured in NYFOL. See the works of creative collective 3_Search in their map-inspired piece Initiations, that will project specific locations on the Manhattan Bridge Anchorage. Light designer Howard Ungerleider has worked with musicians like Rod Stewart and Van Helen and now his laser ight show will be free to see under the tunnel of the Manhattan Bridge. There will also be a piece created specifically for the visually impaired called The Eyeronman and work by “light magician” Tupac Martir called “Sound of Nature”. – Jaz Joyner
