NYU & NYC Dept. Of Sanitation Team Up for “Loaded Out”

The show, which runs from Dec. 13, 2007 through Jan. 13, 2008, is at 136 W. 20th St. (betw. 6th and 7th Aves.). Admission is free. Subways: F, V (23rd St.); 1 (23rd St.). Exhibition hours: Thursdays through Sundays, 3-7 p.m. For more information, call 212.998.8065.

The DSNY and NYU have collaborated through this project to lay the foundation for the eventual brick-and-mortar DSNY Museum. The exhibition evolved from a course, “Making a Museum: Materializing Regimes of Value with the New York City Department of Sanitation,” taught by Haidy Geismar, a professor in NYU’s Museum Studies Program and in Anthropology, and Robin Nagle, director of NYU’s Draper Interdisciplinary Master’s Program and the DSNY’s anthropologist-in-residence. Nagle’s book, Picking Up, is out next year from Farrar, Straus & Giroux. Source: By NYU Web site
