When You Think of Flint, Michigan, Think of … Experimental Public Art?
As cities go, hollowed-out Flint might have the worst reputation in America. But the Flint Public Art Project wants to change that.

JORDAN EAGLES is a New York based artist who preserves blood to create works that evoke the connections between life, death, body, spirit, and the Universe…
Blood, procured from a slaughterhouse, is the primary medium in Eagles’ works. Through his experimental, invented process, he encases blood in plexiglass and UV resin. This preservation technique permanently retains the organic material’s natural colors, patterns, and textures. The works become relics of that which was once living, embodying transformation, regeneration, and an allegory of death to life.

Artist Subodh Gupta sculpture titled “What does the vessel contain, that the river does not” is a traditional fishing boat from Kerala, India that measures over 20 meters filling the center of the gallery space.The boat is filled with chairs, beds, window frames, fishing nets, plastic jars, cans, an old radio, cooking pots and pans, suitcases and a bicycle.
“Guyton’s paintings are ostensibly monochromes. Made with an Epson large format printer, these works are printed on pre-primed linen intended for oil painting and not inkjet printing.
As such, the images, marks, and letters Guyton continues to employ are absorbed into the porous material and disperse the ink rather than allowing it, as in his previous works, to ‘sit on the surface.’
Upon discovering this difference in the ink’s interaction with the surface, the artist began to overprint his own paintings with a Photoshop-drawn rectangle ‘filled’ with the color black. By repetitively overprinting, an unexpected painterly process developed. As each piece is created, they transcribe a visual record of the printer’s actions: the trace of movement of the print heads, the varying states of their clogged-ness, the track marks of the wheels on wet ink all mixed with the scratches and smears on the paintings from being dragged across the floor to be fed back again into the printer.”
