Matthew Jensen | Three Wonder Walks (After the High Line)

Barren Island, Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn
Guests should be prepared to traverse unpaved terrain.

Conceptual landscape artist Matthew Jensen uses collection and photography to explore public landscapes, often finding uncanny treasures within well-trod sites. For the group show Wanderlust, Jensen transposes the length and shape of the High Line onto three other sites in New York City—the ruins of Happy Land amusement park on Staten Island, Floyd Bennet Field in Brooklyn, and Pelham Bay in the Bronx—creating annotated maps and walks of these areas that offer the chance to wander between the natural and urban world while journeying to number of lesser-known landmarks.

From the Gansevoort Street entrance to the High Line: Walk to the West 14th Street and 7th Avenue subway station. Take the Downtown 2 Train to Flatbush Avenue/Brooklyn College. Get off at last stop. One block from the exit, in front of the mall, you will find a bus stop for Rockaway Park-bound Q35. You will probably see beachgoers because this bus continues to Jacob Riis Park and Fort Tilden. While on the bus, look out for Kings Plaza and a body of water. Get off at the next stop for Toys-R-Us (Flatbush Ave/ Marine Park Golf Course)
