“Here in Charlotte, where I’m at, there’s this great space called Camp North End, and Camp is an area of the city that was a bunch of warehouses, a big industrial space, and over the last few years it’s been developed into an art space, a performance space, a retail space, office spaces, and it’s lively and varied and transitional,” Cooke said. “Anybody who’s been to Camp North End has experienced a few things that are familiar … but a few things that are unfamiliar — occupying an old warehouse space in a way that they didn’t expect to before, or walking across train lines that used to be used for shipping goods and are now part of a public walkway promenade. This has a lot to do with giving over a lot of that space to artists.”
