  • Turning the Neighborhood Inside Out
    Turning the Neighborhood Inside Out Imagining a New Detroit in Tyree Guyton’s Heidelberg Project Wendy S. Walters In some senses, the city is like a stage, and the individual is an actor in a drama. By being such an actor, the individual gets a better sense of what the drama is about. —City of Detroit, Planning Department (:) Let the future begin. —Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer (in DeHaven ) it’s just tyree & grandpop out there on Heidelberg Street in the middle of the night turning their neighborhood inside out —John Sinclair (:) Artist Tyree Guyton has said of the rapidly deteriorating houses on Heidel- berg Street: “You’ll think I’m crazy [...] but the houses began speaking to me. [...] Things were going down. You know, we’re taught in school to look at problems and think of solutions. This was my solution” (in Beardsley :). Guyton claims that his painting and decorating of abandoned houses on the block of Heidelberg Street initially began as “protest art” against the de- cline of his eastside Detroit neighborhood. In its controversial years of ex- istence, the Heidelberg Project has also become a performance of history—a didactic representation of past public events and human affairs that makes ma- terial the intricacies of human experience typically not accounted for in con- ventional history or folklore. The Project visually captures the history of a residential community coming undone. Guyton’s houses: literally vomit forth the physical elements of domestic history; furniture, dolls, television sets, signs, toilets, enema bottles, beds, tires, baby buggies come cascading out doors and windows and through holes in the roof, The Drama Review , 4 (T), Winter .
