Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

From Laura Elkins:

Please join us at the Warehouse for the opening of Shock & Awe: Artists Look at War: From Our House to Warehouse.

Tuesday, Nov 7, 2006 - Election Day - at 6 pm

The Sky Is Falling is a painting that extends from the façade of the home of artist Laura Elkins in Capitol Hill (20 Ninth Street NE) to the façade of the buildings of the Warehouse Arts Complex in downtown Washington. The work explores the notion of peripatetic art, where the viewer must travel to see the entire painting. The Sky Is Falling is part of a body of work titled HOME wRAP, which addresses life in the Age of Catastrophe.

In conjunction with the fifth annual Warehouse Peace Show -- Shock & Awe: Artists Look at War -- The Sky Is Falling is part of What Next?, the inaugural exhibition of The Private Home/Public Art Project, where artists use the outside of their homes and studios to exhibit art.

Warehouse, 1021 7th St NW WDC 20001. Contact Molly or at 202.783.3933.
