Meditations on Medication: The Pill Bottle Project

From May - August, 2024 Fountain House Gallery artists and the greater New York City community are invited to participate in Meditations on Medication: The Pill Bottle Project, a series of site-specific installations constructed entirely of (empty) orange prescription bottles. Visit and take part at our Governors Island location:

Nolan Park #8B

Governors Island

New York, NY 10004

Directions

Conceived of by Fountain House Gallery artist Alyson Vega, the project aims to generate conversation around medication, routine, recycling, plastic waste, insurance, accessibility, and more. 

If you'd like to get involved, you can stop by Nolan Park #8B on Governors Island to help construct, help us canvas local pharmacies for donations, or drop off your empty prescription bottles at one of our three designated drop-off spots: (1) Fountain House Gallery, 702 9th Avenue, New York, NY; (2) Fountain House Studio, 37-24 24th Street, Suite 012, Long Island City, NY 11101 (call 212-582-0340 x1930 to enter); or (3) Nolan Park #8B, Governors Island, New York. 

In order to protect privacy, please either remove the label off your bottle(s) or sharpie over private information. Sharpies are provided at all drop-off locations. For any questions or to chat about bulk donations, please contact us at gallery@fountainhouse.org.
