The Detroit Projection Project (DPP) is the ambitious undertaking by artists Steve Coy and Brandon Walley to display contemporary art to the general public of Detroit, Michigan. More specifically, DPP will redefine the concept of where art is displayed, removing the cultural and structural confines of the gallery and museum, by bringing works of art outside for all to see.
The Detroit Projection Project’s mission is simple, but its impact will be great. Bring the highest caliber of modern video art to the people, free of charge. The juxtaposition of the art and the physical locations will point out provocative issues such as the cultural and socio-economic climate of urban centers (particularly the exaggerated state of Detroit), modern advertising, and the role of contemporary art in these current times.
Look toward the Detroit Projection Project to shine a new light on the cultural landscape of Detroit. For additional information about the DPP, www.detroitprojectionproject.com, or contact Brandon, brand500@gmail.com.
