Current to New York is a scaled model of a private Bard College dorm room that was shipped down the Hudson River on July 23rd, 2022, in hopes that someone finds it. Inside the model is a postcard, as the only form of tracking, with an image of the actual space, a pre-paid postage, and a return address for the receiver to send back to let us know that the model is still somewhere out in the world. As a live event, the boat launch comprised a speech, a group picture, and a toast that took place in Tivoli Landing with the help of the Suminski Innski’s canoes.
