New York street artist Swoon and Deitch have teamed up once again for a project called Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea.

"Swimming cities of Switchback Sea is a flotilla of seven intricately hand crafted vessels that will navigate the stretch of the Hudson River between Troy and the New York harbor this August 15th - September 7th. Imagined as a hybrid between boats and bits of land mass broken off and headed out to sea, the Switchback vessels will make stops in towns along the river bringing performances and music. Over the course of three weeks they will make their way toward their home port - an invented landscape tucked into a niche along the East River in Long Island City, Queens." Read more here.

That invented landscape tucked into a nice is of course the dock of Deitch's LIC space, which is amazing. The view from their dock alone is worth the trip to Queens.

See you in September!
