Arlene Gottfried L’Insouciance D’Une Époque
DOSSIER DE PRESSE ARLENE GOTTFRIED L’INSOUCIANCE D’UNE ÉPOQUE 9 JANVIER – 5 MARS 2016 Du mercredi au samedi de 14h à 19h et sur rendez-vous Vernissage le 9 janvier de 14h à 19h ©Arlene Gottfried / Courtesy Les Douches la Galerie Décalé, tendre, libre, intime, joyeux, les qualificatifs ne manquent pas pour résumer ce portrait du New York des années 70-80. Une vie sans contrainte qui nous apparaît à des années lumière de notre quotidien. Ce vent de liberté d’expression avant l’épidémie du sida transparaît dans cette fresque noir et blanc. Nous sommes très heureux d’exposer pour la première fois en France ce travail d’Arlene Gottfried à la galerie. Une grande dame de la photographie qui mérite d’être mieux connue. Commissaires d’exposition : Laurence Cornet et Françoise Morin Contact : Françoise Morin 01 78 94 03 00 - [email protected] ARLENE GOTTFRIED Arlene Gottfried, dont le travail est encore mal connu en France, est avant tout new-yorkaise. Toute son œuvre s’inscrit dans ce monde urbain très spécifique, qui a constamment nourri sa soif d’observation depuis l’enfance. L’exposition organisée aux Douches présente - pour la première fois à Paris – une sélection de photographies de jeunesse, prises dans les années 70 et 80, lorsqu’elle sillonnait sans cesse Brooklyn à la recherche de lieux vivants, de tronches étonnantes, de scènes de rue insolites. C’est une spontanéité détachée d’ambition qui dessine son parcours. Refusant de faire des études, elle a préféré prendre un emploi de bureau pendant la journée et apprendre la photographie en cours du soir. -
Acme Fish Expansion
ACME FISH EXPANSION DRAFT SCOPE OF WORK FOR A DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT CEQR NO. 20DCP009K July 26, 2019 A. INTRODUCTION This Draft Scope of Work (Draft Scope) outlines the technical areas to be analyzed in the preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Acme Fish Expansion project in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn Community District (CD) 1 (see Figure 1 for project site location). The Development Site is comprised of Brooklyn Block 2615, Lots 1, 6, 19, 21, 25, 50, and 125 (a.k.a. the proposed rezoning area), comprising a total of 116,756 sf of lot area. The Development Site is the current home of the processing plant and smokehouse for Acme Smoked Fish, a New York City institution founded in 1905 and operated by four generations of the Caslow family. The Development Site also currently includes a stone supplier, and the field office and open storage for a utility construction company. As described in the following section, RP Inlet, LLC (the “Applicant”) seeks a zoning map amendment, zoning text amendment, and Large‐Scale General Development (LSGD) special permits (the “Proposed Actions”). The Proposed Actions would facilitate a new development with approximately 637,250 gsf, comprised of (i) a new and improved 105,600 gsf Acme Smoked Fish processing facility, and (ii) 531,650 gsf of commercial office and retail space (including parking/loading/bike storage spaces). The Acme Smoked Fish processing facility would contain four stories with a maximum building height of approximately 74 feet. There would be a metal louver screen on the roof that is 25 feet high. -

Photo Notes Our 75th Year May/June 2012 Presidentʼs Letter Presidential Politics You all know I plan to step down as PWCC Presi- dent at the end of this Club year. I am disappoint- ed that so far no potential successor has presented him/herself. When I consider all the national press about the US presidential campaigns, all the Republican candidates, the debates, the money spent, the dissection of personal lives in public media, I am surprised that we can’t find someone to lead our little outfit.

Chapter 18: Transit and Pedestrians
Chapter 18: Transit and Pedestrians A. INTRODUCTION This chapter evaluates the potential impacts of the proposed project on transit and pedestrian facilities within the transportation study area. As described in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” the proposed project would result in the development of residential, retail/commercial, community facility uses, and open space along the East River waterfront. It should be noted that subsequent to the publication of the DEIS, the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual has been updated. To reflect the updated methodologies in the CEQR Technical Manual, the transit analyses in the FEIS have been revised accordingly. Therefore, the detailed transit analyses presented in this chapter are conducted pursuant to the new 2010 CEQR methodologies, using the specific criteria and procedures developed as part of the update. Furthermore, subsequent to the publication of the DEIS, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority-New York City Transit (NYCT) has restructured the bus service in the study area, resulting in changes to the B61and Q59 bus routes. Specifically, the B61 bus route has been replaced by B62 bus route in the study area and the terminus for the Q59 bus route in Brooklyn has been extended to Williamsburg Bridge Plaza instead of the Broadway/Kent Avenue intersection as analyzed in the DEIS. Moreover, due to the reconfiguration of Kent Avenue into a one-way northbound roadway from a two-way north-south roadway (discussed in detail in Chapter 17, “Traffic and Parking”), the Q59 bus route in the study area has been modified by shifting the southbound bus operations from Kent Avenue to Wythe Avenue between Grand Street and Broadway. -
Arlene Gottfried Bacalaitos and Fireworks
DOSSIER DE PRESSE ARLENE GOTTFRIED BACALAITOS AND FIREWORKS ESPACE II VERNISSAGE LE 19 JANVIER DE 18H À 21H 20 JANVIER – 25 FÉVRIER 2017 Du mercredi au samedi de 14h à 19h et sur rendez-vous © Arlene Gottfried. Courtesy Les Douches la Galerie Ce travail documentaire « Bacalaitos and Fireworks » de la photographe new yorkaise Arlene Gottfried porte sur la communauté portoricaine de New York. Une communauté qu’elle fréquente assidument depuis quarante ans, qui a accompagné ses débuts de photographe et qui est en quelque sorte devenue, au fil du temps, une seconde famille. Dans ce travail couleur, on retrouve les mêmes qualités d’observation que dans sa série « Sometimes Overwhelming » avec ce regard distancié, plein d’empathie et teinté d’humour. Ces photographies s’inscrivent pleinement dans la lignée des travaux de Bruce Wrighton, Tom Arndt ou Homer Sykes que nous défendons à la galerie. Les tirages présentés sont des Cibachrome d’époque, exceptionnels. Avec la complicité de Laurence Cornet, c’est la deuxième exposition que nous consacrons à Arlene Gottfried. Contact : Françoise Morin 01 78 94 03 00 - [email protected] Les Douches la Galerie 5, rue Legouvé 75010 Paris lesdoucheslagalerie.com COMMUNIQUÉ De ma fenêtre dans le Lower East Side à New York, j’observais la culture portoricaine que j’avais découverte trente ans auparavant, à l’époque où je commençais la photo. Un soir, j’ai entendu un marchand ambulant crier « bacalaitos et feux d’artifice ! » : les bacalaitos, des beignets de morue à la portoricaine, et les feux d’artifice pour le week-end du Quatre-Juillet. -
