“Holy Place” Started in 1986 as part of Tyree Guyton’s mission to use art to uplift his neighborhood from violence, he incorporated found objects, the street, the trees, the sidewalks, abandoned houses, vacant lots, and nature to create what is now a world-renowned outdoor exhibition that has survived multiple mayoral attempts at removal and targeted arsons. This image is a detail of “Holy Place”, a structure built on the site of where once stood a house exhibit called “House of Soul” that was clad in vinyl records ~ until it was destroyed by arson in 2013. “Holy Place” includes elements rescued from the original installation.

El Proyecto Heidelberg ("HP") es un proyecto de arte al aire libre en el corazón de una organización comunitaria con sede en Detroit. Su misión es la de mejorar las vidas de las personas y los barrios a través del arte. La teoría del cambio para el Proyecto Heidelberg comienza con la creencia de que todos los ciudadanos, de todas las culturas, tienen derecho a crecer y florecer en sus comunidades. HP cree que una comunidad puede volver a desarrollarse y mantenerse a sí misma, desde adentro hacia afuera, abrazando sus diversas culturas y atributos artísticos como los elementos esenciales para una forma de vida satisfactoria y económicamente viable. --------------------------------- The Heidelberg Project (“HP”) is an outdoor art environment in the heart of an urban area and a Detroit based community organization with a mission to improve the lives of people and neighborhoods through art. The theory of change for the Heidelberg Project begins with the belief that all citizens, from all cultures, have the right to grow and flourish in their communities. The HP believes that a community can re-develop and sustain itself, from the inside out, by embracing its diverse cultures and artistic attributes as the essential building blocks for a fulfilling and economically viable way of life. • •• ••• #heidelbergproject #detroit #tyreeguyton#michigan #outsiderart #artenvironment#visionaryart #selftaught #artinstallation#installationart #installationartist#artoftheday #instagood #foundobjects#assemblage #artistsoninstagram#artgallery #artlovers #artcollectors#green #instagood #instalike #instaart#artworld #visionaryenvironment #strange#upcycledart #recycledart #recycled #puremichigan (en The Heidelberg Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn1YPW_Fsvq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q6a6cn0u4ngl

I had an opportunity to meet @tyreeguyton - creative force behind the @heidelbergproj earlier last week. I am amazed at the depth of this important work. It is truly breath-taking - funny and distressing at the same time. #mustvisit #art #artistsoninstagram #artist #artwork #heidelbergproject #tyreeguyton #socialcommentary #detroit #detroitvseverybody #detroitmichigan #michigan
