Re-imagining an Antique Fireboat for a New Exhibition

Midday on WNYC | Aug 16, 2018

Curator Emma Enderby discusses Tauba Auerbach's exhibition Flow Separation. Her work transforms the historic fireboat John J. Harvey with a "dazzle camouflage" design, developed during World War I to disguise ships from enemy fire. Flow Separation is on view at Pier 6 at Brooklyn Bridge Park and is also open for free boat rides and onboard visits. 

This segment is guest hosted by Beth Fertig.
