lmcc governors island
2009 – 2011. In its first incarnation, WPC embodied a working agency, referential of a modern day Farm Security Administration documentation initiative. During this time, LMCC’s Governors Island Swing Space Studio served as WPC headquarters where the collective engaged in and observed image-making during the current economic recession, including conducting focus groups, interviews, research outings, and producing cultural data through video, audio, and photographic means. WPC’s office headquarters installation on Governors Island presented agency findings and engaged participants in dialogue about present day image-making and consumption. Future projects include visual literacy educational platforms and an online journal of findings; two timely grassroots alternatives to formal institutions in the current financial climate.
