] Creative Time in the Anchorage 2000

music, art, and more in the Brooklyn Bridge
"[Creative Time] in the Anchorage is a great way to beat the heat and feel it too. This annual summer show of installation artworks, organized by Creative Time, takes place in one of the City's greatest hidden interiors: the cavernous brick vaults of the Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage, a space pleasantly immune to the waves of heat and humidity assaulting the Northeast."
-The New York Times

about the anchorage
Creative Time offers annual public access to one of New York's most spectacular landmark structures. Visitors have compared the cathedral-like vaults (nearly 50 feet high) to Piranesi's "Carceri", to ancient catacombs and to the austere intimacy of a monastery.

Now with record deals, MTV variety shows, and more, the lounge has become more than a party, but a bellwether for all aspects of the hip-hop culture.

A common remark about the space of the Anchorage is that it resembles a cathedral. Now it' time to have two of the finest gospel choirs in New York make joyful noises under the bridge. For 51 years, the McCollough Sons of Thunder have produced a powerful, boisterous, stomping version of God's music, performing in the United House of Prayer for All People in Harlem, New York. Under the leadership of Elder Edward Babb, this 40-piece ensemble of trombones blast out spirit and joy in a way that is literally soul-stirring.
