Visiting Artist Bio:

José Luis Bongore was born in 1979 in Malaga (Spain) and lives and work in Madrid.

His artistic production emerged from an intervention into social environments, performance art and documentary investigation. His creative route focuses on an interest in questions such as the expression of power and the social processes; visual anthropology; art and activism; migration and cultural transference. He illustrates the empirical component and the formal experimentation.

The Newtown Creek Armada is an art installation that invites the public to explore the past, present and future of a contaminated New York City waterway. The Newtown Creek, a Superfund site bordering Brooklyn and Queens, is one of the most polluted bodies of water in the United States. Visitors to The Armada will pilot a fleet of artist-made, miniature, remote-controlled boats along the surface of the Newtown Creek while documenting the hidden world of its waters using waterproof cameras and microphones.
