Could the Clinton/Obama fight to secure the presidential nomination be clinched by a Karaoke sing-a-long? For when Democratic delegates meet in Denver from 25 to 28 August, they will be treated to $200,000 worth of “participatory” art commissioned by the city and the Democratic National Convention (DNC) host committee.
Seth Goldenberg, director of the DNC public programme Dialog:City, has asked ten artists to create work which will take place across Denver and focus on political issues. Daniel Peltz will present a Karaoke sing-along of presidential candidate speeches in bars, clubs and restaurants. The DNC has given $200,000 towards the commissions.
