Brooklyn, represent


A band of Brooklyn-based pirate artists, led by a Pippi Longstocking-like artist named Swoon shook up the Venice Biennale by drifting into the city on raftlike boats made from trash culled from New York City streets. They sailed from Slovenia, where they had to rummage for a bit more trash as their container of crap was held up in customs. The Daily Beast has a great slideshow, and Vanessa Grigoriadis covers it in New York Magazine this week.
