Today we’re featuring a walking tour of Greenpoint by Sam Fleischner, a Brooklyn based artist and filmmaker. Having grown accustomed to life on the road, Fleischner’s gotten dependably good at documenting his daily travails. From his monthly photo logs to his site specific video installations to his most recent feature film, Wah Do Dem, a coming of age narrative shot and directed in Jamaica with his childhood friend, Ben Chance, all of Fleischner’s work explores the independent spirit and value of personal adventure. Fleischner’s not alone in this northern Brooklyn borough, as over the past decade, artists have been migrating in droves, setting up shop alongside their Polish neighbors. Follow along, take the tour and let us know what you think!
