THE ILLUMINATED CORRIDOR
This is the next step in outdoor cinema: a nomadic public art 
installation that creates site-specific illumination of public space, 
drawing on local traditions of film and live music. The October 6th 
installation, entitled "Mobility," features the work of over 50 media 
and sound artists. Each will illuminate our notions of physical, social 
and economic mobility in the burgeoning Northgate neighborhood: a place 
of art and manufacture teetering on the borders of Oakland's 10K Plan.

Friday, October 6th 7:11 pm
25th Street between Broadway & Telegraph in Oakland
Free and open to the public of all ages
