Michael was not present but we know that he did explore the NYC Municipal Archives because some of the photos showed up in his Instagram account \u201cGowanus_Archeology\u201d (there is an underline in there!).&nbsp;Joan and Peter sent materials.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Michael will explore Brooklyn Eagle\u2019s archive for materials&nbsp;<\/li><li>update on&nbsp;Peter &amp; his wife\u2019s work.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Voice of Gowanus archive? We also know that he did access the VOG archive.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Shared&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/nycrecords.access.preservica.com\/?pg=2&amp;s=gowanus+canal\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/nycrecords.access.preservica.com\/?pg=2&amp;s=gowanus+canal<\/a>&nbsp;Muni Archive in the chat.&nbsp;&nbsp;The photos are very good.&nbsp;&nbsp;Take a look.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Check status of the Storyboard with Aaron.&nbsp;Chronicle Heritage is working on setting up an account with a platform for activity.&nbsp;He believes we will have a more certain date in January 2026.&nbsp;He explained the platform, Arts GIS, to Jason \u2013 it is a multi-media platform that allows photos, video, text and audio and the Story Map is the Hx of the Gowanus Canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Peter reported on his conversation with Johnny Thornton (Arts Gowanus) and they are open to us sharing material for the Walkabout Tour.&nbsp;We will start with the building where the CSO tank is going in and get the step by step of how to do it.&nbsp;Seems that getting the photos to Johnny is the key but there may be a cost associated with creating the vinyl posters (plastic and fabric 3\u2019 x 5\u2019) with the QR code (see one by the Carroll St. Bridge).&nbsp;The QR code is a single code that takes one to a website with a map that the viewer uses to find their current location and see what was there before the re-zone.&nbsp;It seems that a lot of this walkabout falls into what we want to focus on, the WAY IT WAS as opposed to the way it is now.&nbsp;Peter will send me Johnny\u2019s email again and I need to sell the idea to him of us sharing stuff.&nbsp;Peter recommends speaking with Andrea at Gowanus Canal Conservancy, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Through its Gowanus Neighborhood Art Advisory Committee (GNAAC) initiative, Arts Gowanus has made significant inroads working with developers to incorporate public art installations (majority of them by Brooklyn-based artists) at 7 to 8 sites along the Gowanus Waterfront Esplanade; these projects are currently under review by the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR).&nbsp;Let\u2019s see if Johnny can come to one of our meetings.&nbsp;This may be out of our scope but if there is an appetite for bigger items, maybe John Quadrozzi\u2019s storage items can now be utilized.&nbsp;Also discussed perhaps a historical exhibit at the Gowanus Dredgers 2nd&nbsp;Street space.&nbsp;&nbsp;If I go to Quadrozzi\u2019s, I want a person to accompany me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. On the back burner:&nbsp;Reach out to Brooklyn College Museum Studies Program and to Pratt\u2019s archaeology team in the fall to see if there are any opportunities there.&nbsp;(This was Joan\u2019s action item, not done yet.)&nbsp;Keep an eye on the Union Street Library on Clinton Street to see when it opens (not yet).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. Agreed as a committee to build synergy with local arts community and to explore options with new Gowanus Canal Conservancy space, Thomas Greene Park community center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a recording of the meeting, please <a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/rec\/share\/lEoG63xKPYGolYWag9IyhqryL1XCEMWrKox63YrqBP_IxCKDhFZGJV7TuEINH2qx.-5BmAScBSHZ74qDz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Passcode: $um7N.9q<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attendees: Joan Salome-Rodriguez (Moderator),&nbsp;Katia Kelly, Peter Reich, Jason Schwartzman, Susan Yung Guests: Irene Baker (National Grid), Aaron Kaufman (Gowanus Remediation Team) 1.
