WATERFRONT SHOWDOWN is a collaboration between Maddy Rosenberg and Susan Rostow. This animation begins with antique maps of the New York Bay photographed during their research at the New-York Historical Society. Rosenberg used it as a base for her 4 "page" pop-up artist’s book of the Brooklyn waterfront that became the set for Rostow’s mini sculptural population formed from linocut and silkscreen Akua monoprints of the map with various layered textures.
Maddy Rosenberg was born and is based in Brooklyn, maintaining an active international exhibition and curatorial career. Her studio practice includes artist’s books, oil painting, printmaking, animation, toy theater and installation. In 2009, she founded CENTRAL BOOKING, focusing on artist's books and art & science projects.
Susan Rostow is a Brooklyn-based multi-media artist, who uses printmaking, sculptural prints, sculptural books and stop frame animation to reimagine our world.
