Description |
From Bronzeville to Harlem; 1997 Mar 13 This may be a recording of a permanent installation entitled "Bronzeville to Harlem" by Preston Jackson, which according to Jackson's website is "...a bronze and steel sculptural interpretation of the Harlem Renaissance period, which was a time of cultural reawakening which occurred all across the U.S. in the 1920's and 1930's. The piece consists of 300 small bronze figures and automobiles in an 80-foot neighborhood of approximately 30 buildings. The piece is made of painted steel and cast bronze and is continuously evolving with new ideas in the way of images, kinetics, sound and lighting." Preston Jackson speaks about the culture of Harlem, the importance of family, artwork made of bronze and steel, the African American Renaissance period, and the decline of Harlem. |
