about the great wall
This Corridor seeks to
illuminate the north facade of the former Breuner's Furniture Store, on West Grand between Broadway and Valley in Oakland. This �Great
Wall� a seven-story windowless tabula rasa stretching the length of a city block� provides one of Oakland's most spectacular urban canvases. The Corridor will take place in three one-hour movements:
Key Route Inn, myrmyr's meditation on the building
that flanked 2201 Broadway�s north fa�ade, destroyed by fire in the 1930s
The Great
Wall, Shudder's contrapuntal exploration of the current identity of the site, and
Good Times, a
new anthem drawn from the momentum of urban redevelopment, composed by Dan Plonsey and realized by string ensemble.
