Mobile New York

To create art in a “minor” mode is to make of one’s citizenship a permanent nomadic project. It is to travel long distances, across cultures, languages, dialects, ethnicities, flavors, even while staying put in the middle of the city. Or, conversely, it is to create a set of New York expatriates who, despite no longer being in the city physically, continue to permanently return to it, re-live it, expand it, re-invent it, and re-dimension it, true nomads making New York their ground and ever fertile territory.

here we are, ping-ponging across the planet. according to the 2000 census, 35.9% of new york city residents are foreign-born but the multitudes of us who are foreign-born somewhere else are impossible to quantify. we're whole by ourselves but in motion we make another whole - our city.
