#YOUVOTE2020
Repost Institute of Contemporary Art: "ICA is pleased to be a partner with Jenny Holzer Studio in YOU VOTE, an initiative mobilizing a series of artworks to champion broad political engagement, issue awareness, and voter empowerment in anticipation of the 2020 US Presidential and Congressional elections.
YOU VOTE foregrounds the voices of citizens, activists and get-out-the-vote efforts, joining forces with established organizations, from sports franchises to universities to cultural institutions. Starting now through November 3, this project will employ fleets of LED vehicles, light projections, billboards, theater marquees, murals, a variety of street level advertising, and social media animations to encourage civic participation ahead of Election Day. Forty billboards around the United States, with a focus on Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, will feature phrases such as PROTECT YOURSELF and BE AN ALLY and will be on view through Election Day. Simultaneously, dozens of LED vehicles will take to the streets to offer voter information, build voter excitement and celebrate early voting.
Phrases featured in Holzer’s singular style are drawn from texts authored by many–such as the video above, featuring text by Susan B. Anthony–centered on issues of social and economic justice, gun control, climate change, immigration, voting rights, voter suppression and the erosion of fundamental democratic pillars such as truth, the rule of law, and government accountability."

“The Red and the Blue” is one of the first school songs the Class of 2022 will hear as they start their Penn journey. The music was composed by William John Goeckel L1896 and words were written by Harry E. Westervelt C1898. Goeckel, a leader of the Glee Club, was also and considered one of Penn’s star baseball players. When he died on pneumonia in 1992, his obituary praised the song as “an anthem [that is] the rallying cry and focal point for all the hopes, aspirations and memories that together compose that indeterminate, but powerful factor called college spirit.” Last night, at the opening ceremony for University of Pennsylvania’s 279th year, Penn Glee Club and UPenn Quaker Notes were accompanied by the Penn Band in leading the crowd in a hearty rendition of “The Red and the Blue.” Hurrah! #lovepenn
