LANDMARK: 24 Hours at the Stone Arch Bridge

LANDMARK: 24 Hours at the Stone Arch Bridge Sunrise August 27 to sunrise August 28, Stone Arch Bridge How do you say “I love you” to a 2,176-foot span of metal and stone? Six local artists decided the only way to pay proper tribute to the architecture, culture, and history of this 1883 landmark, as well as the geology and spirit of the place where it stands, was with a twenty-four-hour multimedia spectacular. During this meandering, seemingly nonsensical lineup of performance and installation events, brass musicians will float on the river and dancers will portray the bridge’s past as a major transitway (it was built by James J. Hill). Tour guides and tucked-away installations will tell historical narratives. Video projections will create the illusion of never-ending daylight. Even poetry will appear and disappear along the riverbanks, making a lovely valentine. Minneapolis riverfront; www.localstrategy.org
