David Luke’s Arts on Chicago project, Upstream Animated, will be projected on the windows of Pillsbury House and Theater (located on the corner of Chicago Avenue and 35th Street in south Minneapolis) the nights of June 12th, 13th, and 14th.
Luke has collaborated with Upstream Arts (UA) to create a quartet of unique animated movies. Taking poems written by UA teaching artists and program participants with disabilities as base text, these works make visual the vibrant voices of program participants, expanding the creative process from the UA programs into a new realm of public engagement. The movies take advantage of photographic imagery, collage, vector graphics and drawings.
