THE EXHIBIT featured an in­
triguing new mixed media tableaux,
as Guyton looks closer at human
potential and pirituality. Fourteen
assemblages comprise the exhibition
and form associations from
Guyton's personal experience and
objective observations.
For "Prostitution Justified,"
Guyton shrouds a doll's upper torso
with an American flag while she
sports a hairy pubis.
"In a Loud Noise" depicts a
megaphone protruding from a can­
vas, as volcanic crater ash gushes
from its circumference. "This is my
bugle blast for people to make a con­
certed effort to be better human
beings," he says. "A similar mag­
nification are the painted clocks I'm
. placing on a project house."
"Walk Notffo Fear" animate a
green porch col umn crowned wi th a
flashing traffic light with crumpled
shoes strewn atop its structural foun­
dation.
A third world shoe recycling
company saw to it that Guyton had
enough shoes to share with area
children and to create a gigantic in­
stallation that exhibits several
thousand shoes: jellies, athletic
shoes, galoshes, military and show
boots, high heels and dress shoes,
platforms, thongs, wedges, bedroom
slippers and air pump gym shoes.

Tyree Guyton' till love for the
neighborhood that aw him grow to
manhood. He has h wn that love by
re tructuring urb n p ce into
public art, where par are "art
show " prawling for blocks.
The Heidelberg Project garnered
international recognition as a ym­
. bol to working class people of social
• transformation. The project ha
provided option for stimulating
new life in an old neighborhood. It
gave new hope where pride was
dwindling, as the neighborhood
deteriorated from d cay, dy func­
tion and displacement.
Today, the children have residen­
tial playgrounds and a belief that
everything is possible, instilled in
them by Guyton.
"Kids only ee party stores and
storefront churches around here,"
said Duane Belin, director of the
Liberal Arts Gallery. "When they
see Tyree they know who he is be­
cause they've grown up making art
with him. Guyton encouraged the
children's participation in the
project to teach right action and
responsible achievement.

HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN - One of Tyree Gyton's many art
projects. According to Guyton, the shoes are climbing to reach
higher ground.
Guyton laments how the Heidel­
berg shoes weren't bothering anycne
but were recently bulldozed by the
city. Demolition of the house next
door and several across the' street
occurred in the wee morning hours
with a subsequent warning for
Guyton to back off the project.
ground. "The ones up high jumped
up for safety, while the ones on the
ground are still in the street and near
the gutter." Confusion is conveyed
by the shoes' stances and the rusty
gutter grate.
The Liberal Arts Gallery is open
Thursday and Friday from 3 to 7pm
and may be reached by calling 925-
9578.
