Looks like many a kitchen, but only in closeup.
The "swimming cities" are seven hand-crafted vessels that have been making their way down the Hudson River since mid-August. "Imagined as a hybrid between boats and bits of land mass broken off and headed out to sea" by installation artist Swoon, according to the project's website, the flotilla has brought performances and music to a number of riverside venues during the past three weeks.
Undoubtedly, Swoon and her artistic collaborators have restocked provisions at their ports of call, and likely they've taken a meal or two ashore, but it's always a comfort to cook up a little something in the galley.
