Here's the press release I just sent out for Art Attack:
Chamber of Steel Magnetic Poetry Project
On the fourth floor of the Northrup King Building is an amazing room where every surface, even the ceiling, is made of raw gleaming steel. It’s a magnetic paradise and Minneapolis’ own Dave Kapell, inventor of Magnetic Poetry, has transformed it into the world’s largest interactive poetry installation. Every surface is covered in word magnets of various sizes, themes and languages, begging to be arranged into some semblance of poetic order and/or absurdity. Dave will photograph and live blog your poems to the MagPo website in real time. Bring the whole family; there will be a special kids’ wall, a wall with materials for printing your own words and adding them to the poetic mix, and even a curtained off “adult” section for composing naughty verse. Magnetic Poetry Kits of all kinds will also be offered for sale. Stop by and let your imagination dance with the muse of the magnets!
