10 PLAGUES HAIL MARY OF BROOKLYN Brooklyn’s ship comes in Saturday
By Ariella Cohen The Brooklyn Papers Leave it to a queen to come between broth- ers. Red Hook dock workers — brothers in the same longshoreman’s union — will split up on Saturday morning, April 15, one group unloading passengers and baggage from the glamorous Queen Mary 2, the other taking lumber and steel off a freighter called the Brasilia. The long-awaited arrival of the QM2 is a his- toric moment in Red Hook — and not just because Brooklyn is welcoming the largest cruise ship in the world. It also puts front and center two competing vi- Lousy bagels Gowanus Canal sions for the Red Hook waterfront — namely, whether Brooklyn’s last working container port will survive or succumb to the newly arrived cruise ship industry. Many longshoreman are hedging their bets. Nearly 100 union baggage handlers will jump to the cruise ship terminal from the container port to- day. Two hundred others will remain with the far- less-feted cargo, their fate in the hands of city offi- cials, who say they will not renew the container port operator’s lease when it expires next year. Through it all, the union brothers vow to get along. / Cunard Cruise Lines / Cunard “I’m not going to yell at anyone for working over there,” said one crane operator at the contain- er port. “The cruise ship terminal is better than the No late-night cabs one in Bayonne, better than the one in Manhattan.

Bearing fruit (718) 834-9350 The Brooklyn Papers’ essential guide to the Borough of Kings April 15, 2006 Art — and beauty — can be found in the most unexpected places, but Fort Greene artist-curator Ryan Watkins-Hughes wants you to go and really look for it. Hint: he’s leaving it on store shelves along Williamsburg’s Grand Street. “It’s a funny riff on Warhol’s soup cans,” Watkins-Hughes told GO Brooklyn. “He elevated a Campbell’s soup can to high art, and I’m taking high art and putting it back in the grocery store.” Watkins-Hughes has collected artworks from 40 artists, placed them on cans of food and distributed them amidst a dozen shops for his “Shopdropping” Serious comedy show. In C-Town, shoppers might stumble across the works of (pictured, left to right) New York’s Kelly Hall and Redgrave channel Oscar Wilde with new ‘Earnest’ Mola, Kentucky’s Shannon McRoberts, Califor- nia’s Michael Rippens, Watkins-Hughes and By Kevin Filipski Maine’s Kris Hall. for The Brooklyn Papers The best place to begin the art hunt is Maiden, Brooklyn, where many of the eight-ounce cans are or Sir Peter Hall, who directs Oscar on display, and a map to the drop sites can be Wilde’s “The Importance of Being picked up.
