A Wandering Sukkah, September 29
Location: Parked around Snug Harbor 

New Yorkers famously approach commuting with fierce focus, staring straight ahead of them or at the ground as they pound the pavement from one location to another. Assembly Required: A Wandering Sukkah is a fine art, interactive sukkah experience designed to visually and energetically interrupt this urban rhythm.  Created by artists Danielle Durchslag and Ryan Frank, the project is a mobile, artist-designed sukkah built in the Invisible Dog Art Center back garden, hoisted onto the bed of a pick up truck, and then set off to tour New York City. The truck will drive through New York City’s five boroughs during Sukkot, parking at varied locations over the course of the holiday.

Each day during the weeklong holiday of Sukkot, September 27th – October 4th, 2015, A Wandering Sukkah will park in a different neighborhood throughout the five boroughs.  Arts organizations and community centers serve as local “neighborhood hosts” in each neighborhood where the sukkah truck parks, announcing the sukkah’s location and welcoming their constituents to participate in the project. Welcoming one visitor at a time, the sukkah will offer a curated view of the sky within a peaceful, semi-private respite from urban chaos. The truck bed will have a small sidewalk, green space, and a sky scraper-inspired sukkah for one.  It’s a single serving, peaceful city block oasis, three feet above the ground.
