// NEWS //PRESS RELEASE CONT'D (DOWNLOAD PDF VERSION) As of mid-May 52 have responded yes. Among those artists that will participate are 18 -22 year olds (soldier-aged artists), veterans of the Vietnam War who are visual artists, Philadelphia based artists, and artists based outside of Philadelphia. The work will range from small drawings and large-scale paintings to sound and media art. All kinds of strategies will be used that will reflect upon the original Operation Rapid American Withdrawal; techniques of resistance, movement through landscape, symbolic props, camaraderie and bigotry, introspection and community conversation, remembrance of the dead and soap box speechmaking, celebrity and nostalgia. The show will draw its power from contemporary artists’ personal re-imagination of the past. The documentary film made of the March entitled Different Sons: Vietnam Remembered (Jack Ofield: Producer-Director) will be shown as a projection loop. Ofield will also be a participant.
