Nine Mile Run: Conversations in the Rust Belt

Collins and Goto et al
Regina Miller Gallery

The Nine Mile Run Greenway Project is an interdisciplinary research team directed by artists. They brought together engineers, scientists, historians and others to create a civic dialogue about public space in the context of an urban brownfield. The team conducted ecological studies and created diverse alternative art works, such as a construction trailer as a site of public expression, a pirate citizens radio station, a web site as a tool for civic dialogue, post-modern interpretive re-carthography, and policy analysis as if people and places mattered.
