Come
Unto Me,
The Faces of Tyree Guyton
is
a portrait of one artist who has created a massive "junk art" project
in the heart of Detroit's blighted East Side. Since 1986, Tyree Guyton
has transformed his entire block using thousands of gallons of paint
and a cacophony of cast away objects. The film tell the story of his
struggle to create art from inner city rubble, even as he faces heated
opposition from community and city council members who see it only as
junk. The controversy over the Heidelberg Project culminated in 1991
when former Mayor Coleman Young ordered its demolition. Come Unto Me
documents the creation, destruction and subsequent rebirth of Detroit's
most evocative expression of outsider art.Total running time:29:30 |
"The
film - itself a work of art - gives access to one of the country's
most creative urban art projects. Come Unto Me will be a great resource
for teachers and students and is sure to stimulate spirited discussion
about creativity and art in contemporary urban America."
