"Proving the theory true that "if you build it, they will come," the double opening of Brooklyn Artillery and the brand-new Castle Braid complex this Saturday drew a sizeable crowd of all ages. Judging by some quick queries, it was a mix of potential renters, art lovers, and rubber-neckers, with at least one couple having come from the far-flung Upper East Side (!).
While workers had still been pouring the concrete floors of the complex last Tuesday, four days later what the public was privy to looked slick and finished. Filled with people for the first time, the art event functioned as a dress rehearsal for what the Castle Braid might look like inhabited. From any vantage point the entry-way felt like a fish-bowl for social interaction. With a grand descending staircase that announces each guest, a glassed in gym at its rear, floor-to-ceiling windows that incorporate the courtyard, and a second-floor balcony overlooking it, the foyer alone allows infinite possibilities for voyeurism."
