ABOUT THE VOYAGE OF THE HIPPO
The boat is like some kind of leviathan dealing out a strange
emotional justice. - The Captain
Hippo is an 36’ junk rig schooner. Over the past two summers (2012-13)
Clemens Poole and a hardy, international crew of artists and travelers
have navigated the Danube and Black Sea aboard the Hippo and explored
the territories along their shores. Voyage of the Hippo is a chronicle
of that momentous trek. Upon the return of the Hippolytes to the US in
2012, Art for Humans/Occupational Art School hosted an evening
celebrating the successful journey at Bat Haus in Bushwick. In 2013
the VotH event will take place at Good Faith Space in Williamsburg and
feature the multimedia presentation, as well as an installation of
photo documentation. Learn more about the Voyage of the Hippo at the
project Tumblr (schooner-hippo.tumblr.com). The 2013 Voyage was made
possible in part by a Menschel Fellowship.
