Bloom stops shoppers in their tracks

UPDATE: Check out CL’s photo gallery from the event!

Miss Bloom last weekend at Lenox Mall? Too bad. Lucky for you, Cynthia Bond Perry of ArtsCriticATL.com has a great review of Flux Projects’ inaugural work, which cut to the chase and brought the art to the people, rather than the other way around:

In the new site-specific work, internationally noted choreographer Stallings, based in Atlanta, collaborated with Sonic Generator’s Tom Sherwood and Brad Ritchie, accordion player Don Discenza and poet Big Rube of the OutKast/Dungeon family. The imaginatively rich, emotionally compelling “Bloom” bravely thrust Flux Projects toward its primary aims — to bring diverse, high-quality artworks to Atlanta’s public spaces, to attract new audiences to the arts and ultimately to increase public demand for innovative, thought-provoking art.
