Digital Projections

The West Harlem Harlem Art Fund would like to do more digital projections in the City but also around the country. Our last projection, Bridging Stone Figures was a success during Armory Week. It was delayed for a year because it poured on our original date and the artist had to go back to France. But it was great to see his works on the main anchor of the Manhattan Bridge.

Our first installations was on 8th Avenue in Central Harlem. It was called Reaching for the North Star. A tribute to the transformation of that avenue with permanent public art on 110th Street at the Frederick Douglass Circle and to the north at 122nd Street at the Harriet Tubman Triangle. That projections pushed folks to walk north from 116th to 125th Street and watch three projections of Harlem residents on the sidewalks and then on top of the Magic Johnson Theater.

Two more projections have been done in between those times and they dealt with the issues of water and courage by well known Black boxers. Now, that we are comfortable with developing such installations, we are hoping to get the chance to do more and push the envelope a little.
