“Postcards from Gowanus” explores a multitude of approaches to mapping the immediate vicinity surrounding Cabinet’s gallery space in Gowanus. Through a series of collaborative research workshops held during the last month, participants have created projects in the form of audio recordings, performances, literary experiments, collages, photographic series, and experimental video documentaries.
An exhibit and radio narrowcast will occur at Cabinet’s gallery space 17–19 March, with a closing reception and live performances on Friday, 19 March, 6–9 pm.
The program is collaboratively organized by Penny Duff (exhibit), Gabrielle Herbst (performances), and Maria Papadomanolaki (radio) and is sponsored in part by free103point9. For more information, visit postcardsfromgowanus.blogspot.com

About the Intern Initiative
The Intern Initiative is a program begun in the fall of 2009 at Cabinet. It aims to bring together interns from a wide range of non-profit institutions across New York City in order to encourage a dialogue on the role of unpaid internships in contemporary society. Additionally, the Intern Initiative offers the opportunity for New York City area interns to collaboratively plan public cultural events at Cabinet's exhibition space.
