It is at once a record of the past, a snapshot of the present state of affairs, and a courageous look into Brooklyn's possible future. The idea of change and its inevitability as a rationale for "progress" is dissected and debated.

Working across varied mediums, these artists challenge conventional thinking on the subject and highlight the divergent opinions and agendas at play. It is at once a record of the past, a snapshot of the present state of affairs, and a courageous look into Brooklyn's possible future. The idea of change and its inevitability as a rationale for "progress" is dissected and debated. This exhibition is not a documentary, but rather an open dialogue in unusually mixed company. <br> <br> </span><span class="subheading"><a href="http://www.mocada.org/">MoCADA</a><br> 80 Hanson Place<br> Brooklyn, NY<br> 718-230-0492</span><span class="bodytext"> <br> </span> </tr> </table> <!--End of Content Table-> </td> <!-- Bottomw of Box and Lines--> <td width="7"></td> <td bgcolor="#000000" width="2"><img src="http://www.coneyisland.com/img/pixel.000000.gif" width="2" height="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="1" height="4"></td> <td colspan="2" rowspan="2" align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="http://www.coneyisland.com/img/nav.bottomlft.gif" width="9" height="6"></td> <td height="4"></td> <td colspan="2" rowspan="2" align="right" valign="bottom"><img src="http://www.coneyisland.com/img/nav.bottomrt.gif" width="9" height="6"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="1" height="2"></td> <td bgcolor="#000000" height="2"><img src="http://www.coneyisland.com/img/pixel.000000.gif" width="2" height="1"></td> </tr> </table> <table width="99%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFCC00"> <tr> <td width="1" height="1"></td> <td width="2" height="1"></td> <td width="7" height="1"></td> <td height="1"></td> <td width="7" height="1"></td> <td width="2" height="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="1" height="2"></td> <td colspan="2" rowspan="2" valign="top" align="left"><img src="http://www.coneyisland.com/img/nav.toplft.gif" width="9" height="6"></td> <td height="2" bgcolor="#000000"><img src="http://www.coneyisland.com/img/pixel.000000.gif" width="2" height="1"></td> <td colspan="2" rowspan="2" align="right" valign="top"><img src="http://www.coneyisland.com/img/nav.toprt.gif" width="9" height="6"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="1" height="4"></td> <td height="4"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="1"></td> <td width="2" bgcolor="#000000"><img src="http://www.coneyisland.com/img/pixel.000000.gif" width="2" height="1"></td> <td width="7"></td> <td><a name="campaign" id="campaign"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="290" valign="top"><div align="center"> <img src="http://www.coneyisland.com/img/dz_psa.jpg" width="400" height="225" hspace="7"><br> </div></td> <td width="685" valign="top"><p style="margin-top:0;"><span class="headline">SUPPORT CONEY ISLAND USA!

Working across varied mediums, these artists challenge conventional thinking on the subject and highlight the divergent opinions and agendas at play. It is at once a record of the past, a snapshot of the present state of affairs, and a courageous look into Brooklyn's possible future. The idea of change and its inevitability as a rationale for "progress" is dissected and debated.

Working across varied mediums, these artists challenge conventional thinking on the subject and highlight the divergent opinions and agendas at play. It is at once a record of the past, a snapshot of the present state of affairs, and a courageous look into Brooklyn's possible future. The idea of change and its inevitability as a rationale for "progress" is dissected and debated.

Working across varied mediums, these artists challenge conventional thinking on the subject and highlight the divergent opinions and agendas at play. It is at once a record of the past, a snapshot of the present state of affairs, and a courageous look into Brooklyn's possible future. The idea of change and its inevitability as a rationale for "progress" is dissected and debated.

Working across varied mediums, these artists challenge conventional thinking on the subject and highlight the divergent opinions and agendas at play. It is at once a record of the past, a snapshot of the present state of affairs, and a courageous look into Brooklyn's possible future. The idea of change and its inevitability as a rationale for "progress" is dissected and debated.
