UConvention partner Dialog City in Denver is about to open its doors at the DNC.

Politics stokes digital artists’ fires

“Curated by Seth Goldenberg, “Dialog:City” is a vigorous nod to the fact that 21st-century digital-culture artists and performers — such as Miller and R. Luke DuBois, whose “Hindsight Is Always 2 0/20″ will also be showing convention week at the Denver Center Arts Complex — not only can engage with pressing issues, but they intend to.”

Art Show Makes Political Statement

Every arts group with a couple of empty walls - or an open sidewalk - is putting up work with a political flavor to mark the Democratic National Convention and offer commentary on the state of the nation.

PARKING: There will be very limited Harriet Island parking available to the Peace Island Picnic, and much of that is already assigned to a group of art cars, the Bush Legacy Bus and others. We recommend street parking. There should be a lot available.

DIRECTIONS: Because so much of downtown Saint Paul will have no traffic at all during the Republican Convention, we recommend entering Harriet Island by Plato Blvd via Hwy 52.

• From Minneapolis take I-94 east to the Hwy 52 exit, then the Plato Blvd. exit off 52, then follow signs to Harriet Island.
• From the north, take I-35E, Keep LEFT to take I-35E S via EXIT 46 toward ST PAUL. Merge onto US-52 S via EXIT 107A on the LEFT. Then take the Plato Blvd exit.
• From the east, take I-94 and exit south onto Hwy 52, then take the Plato Blvd exit. From the East, take I-94 west. Take the 6TH ST exit, EXIT 242D, on the LEFT toward US-52 S. Take the Plato Blvd exit.
• From the south, take Hwy 52 and exit at Plato Blvd.

WHAT TO BRING:

• blankets, sunscreen, frisbee, the usual
• the Picnic food will be simple and will last as long as it lasts. You can bring your own additions to it–drinks, chips, etc.
• High spirits, good intentions, your own peace to share.
