Wing Young Huie's work showcasing beloved and diverse streets in Minnesota and the people whose lives are lived on and around them has always engaged me. I recently gave a friend a copy of
Lake Street, USA, and am excited now to learn of the opportunity to help make the
University Avenue Project a reality.
Public Art Saint Paul is welcoming volunteers to help Wing Young Huie's photographs transform Saint Paul's University Avenue into a six-mile public gallery, revealing the everyday realities of the diverse neighborhoods connected by this urban thoroughfare. A bit about the project below, but visit
The Language of Urbanism: A Six-Mile Photographic Inquiry website to learn more and to
register to volunteer with fundraising, exhibition set-up and installation, project sites, and community events. See you on the street!
- Hundreds of images will be displayed in windows and on buildings from the KSTP Tower to the State Capitol.
- Each night at a landmark projection site, Wing's images will be shown on 40 foot screens, accompanied by a soundtrack from local musicians. Monthly cabarets will feature live community performances and new media presentations.
- A two-part book from the Minnesota Historical Society Press documents this extraordinary project.
