Artists Mary Cook and Ryder Cooley collaborated on a project in the Hudson River Town of Troy, New York. Cook created a life size drawing-installation, that enveloped the walls of the vestibule of a 18th century stone chapel. Cooley performed in the space suspended from the rafters, swinging on a buoy. Cooley also incorporated a sound-video piece as part of the installation.

Formerly a very affluent industrial center and home to many American historical figures such as Uncle Sam, Harriet Tubman and Madame Mame Faye, this small town can be considered somewhat of a graveyard of American Industry.
