Object Orange (formerly Detroit. Demolition. Disneyland.[1]) is anartistic project in Detroit, Michigan which seeks to draw attention todilapidated buildings by painting them oran
The project is composed of local artists, who go by their first namesonly (Christian, Jacques, Greg, Mike[3] and Andy[4]) for fear ofprosecution. James Canning, communications coordinator for the Mayor's office of Detroit, views the artists' actions as unlawful andvandalism, stating that any demolitions which took place following the project's painting expeditions have been coincidental.[5]
The artists chose the color "Tiggerific Orange[6]" from the Disney paint catalog by Behr[1] for its similarity to traffic cones and the safety orange worn by hunters.[5]
