February 9, 2009: An Abandoned Building at Floyd Bennett Field

I dragged Nate and Sam out to Fort Tilden in Queens over the weekend for a little salt air and some abandonments. To get Sam to drive I had to bribe him with a ham sandwich-- Kensinger was willing to go for free, as long as we waited for him to finish off his pancake breakfast. We were out there for a few hours, and on the way back we stopped at Floyd Bennett Field to check out a weird cluster of disused buildings at the north end-- maybe a training center for the military or something.

Have you been into that building right by the road? I was there yesterday and it looks empty inside - tall with panelled windows, some broken.
wow, this view is breathtaking! what a magical space. it reminds me of the Ann Hamilton show at MassMoca a few years ago, titled Corpus.
