Art VULUPS Making an Impression

Art by Leora Lutz

I came across an article by Leora Lutz at Movement 365 on the Art VULUPS civic dialog session on August 5. Not only did she articulate beautifully the concept of Art VULUPS, her personal observations on "geographic identity" were particularly reminiscent of what I have been trying to convey about the personal nature of housing. She writes:

"We are by nature, defined by where we live, where we have been or where we are from. Sometimes this is our personal own way of explaining to others who we are, and conversely it is a way that others may perceive us." -- Leora Lutz

Read the rest of the article, Public Art in Conjunction With City Planning, here. Ms. Lutz is an eloquent artist as well. I thought her nebuous map (above) was a pretty uncanny illustration of where we are in our art making process right now. See more of her work at www.leoralutz.com.
