    A Conversation with Nate Dorr and Nathan Kensinger

    On today's Navy Yard Neighbor BK, we talk with artists Nate Dorr and Nathan Kensinger. In October 2019, Dorr and Kensinger created a guerilla video installation at the Brooklyn Navy Yard titled Admiral’s Row, 1864 – 2016. This installation was a memorial to a lost utopia that once stood inside the gates of the yard. For the last four decades a wild forest had grown unchecked in and around the abandoned mansions of Admiral’s Row, becoming an important six-acre green oasis along Brooklyn’s otherwise industrial waterfront.   You can view their video installation "Admiral's Row, 1864-2016" at the Old Stone House exhibit Brooklyn Utopias: 2020. https://theoldstonehouse.org/ndorr-nkensinger   natedorr.com  nathankensinger.com   The last days of Admiral's Row's stately, neglected mansions: https://ny.curbed.com/2016/9/1/12732384/brooklyn-navy-yard-admirals-row-demolition #NavyYardNeighborBK
