| Text by Charles Hutchinson Join us this summer as the fairway sounds of a certain Brooklyn amusement park subtly invade the sedate aisles of Freebird Books. It bottles and shakes up the noise of New Yorkers at play in Coney Island. Tucked into remote corners of Freebird's stacks are several listening stations, portals to different fairground vantage points. Since none of the stations are conspicuously marked, browsers will be just as likely to stumble onto a novel sonic experience as they might come across an obscure but necessary book. Dubbed 'A Coney Island of the Ear', this project conjures up not only rollicking poetics but the simple pleasure of pressing a seashell to one's ear. Very special thanks to Peter Miller and Charles Hutchinson. Installation Shots
