Update #4: Brooklyn Makes was a success!
Dear Backers and Interested Folk --
Brooklyn Makes went incredibly well last weekend. I think about 200 people came! The weather and technology cooperated very well, and many wonderful people were on hand to make things go smoothly.
Here is a writeup with some nice pictures:

I am sorting through the documentation now, and will look forward to sharing it with those of you who couldn't be there in person.
Thanks again!
Cheers,
Sarah
Update #3: Brooklyn Makes is this weekend!
Brooklyn Makes A project by Sarah Nelson Wright
with sound by Jennifer Stock Friday + Saturday
October 9+10, 2009
7:30pm - 10pm
BROOKLYN MAKES is a site-specific video installation in the Williamsburg Greenpoint Industrial Zone, revealing the work of manufacturers in North Brooklyn today. Video projections by Sarah Nelson Wright will light up the industrial facades of three manufacturers, with evocative sound by Jennifer Stock. Captured inside each business, the videos and sounds bring North Brooklyn’s hidden labor onto the public streets.
Videos will loop at each location, and will play simultaneously throughout both nights.
Directions: Take the G to Nassau or L to Bedford Ave (also near the B61 and B48 buses). Download a map with the three spots at www.brooklynmakes.org or pick one up at Space on Dobbin (50-52 Dobbin Street between Nassau & Norman Avenues in Greenpoint, Brooklyn). In case of rain, start at 50-52 Dobbin Street. Please respect the few cars and neighbors in the area by staying on the sidewalks and keeping your voice down when you pass residential apartments.
Please enjoy drinks with me afterward Friday or Saturday at Berry Park, a nearby pub with a lovely roof deck (4 Berry St, between Nassau Ave & 14th St).
On Friday night, consider grabbing a beer beforehand at Brooklyn Brewery, another local manufacturer that is open to the public for $4 fresh brews at 6pm (Fridays only).
Brooklyn Makes is part of Space on Dobbin's activities for Williamsburg Gallery Association's Every 2:nd Friday and openhousenewyork weekend.
