Superhero Unfolding
|
Superhero Unfolding (SU) is the underlying concept for an upcoming series of public art projects using the iconography of popular culture. Superheroes, to be precise. It is the intention of SU to co-opt the brand of the superhero. To use its symbols and imagery as a means to inspire joy, creativity and discovery. The Superhero Unfolding project views every human being as a unique occurrence, connected to one another emotionally/energetically through common, shared or imagined experiences. The goal of this project is provide a venue for imagination, inspiration, connection, warmth and humor to be expressed. And, ultimately, to awaken the superhero within!

To be heroic may mean nothing more than this then, to stand in the face of the status quo, in the face of an easy collapse into the madness of an increasingly chaotic world and represent
another way. - Mike Alsford |

Host an Open Air Gallery
The open air gallery is an opportunity to involve organizations or individuals with large street facing properties in displaying homegrown superhero art.
The idea is to invite neighbors to hang a drawing of their own superhero for passersby to see. Sort of a neighborhood wash line outdoor art gallery intended to bring us together while still maintaining social distancing requirements. Please email to discuss the possibility of hosting an open air gallery. Or, if you have any ideas or suggestions for outdoor galleries.
