Detroit Day 4

 

Another big day chasing art, many stops, and censorship! Room service breakfast: oatmeal, coffee and half a biscotti

Stop 1



Antarctica island + DJT tariffs

downtown development 
Stop 2


How current is this piece? titled "American Apathy"
Beth Lo
Tip Toland




head and body sold separately; spoiler alert...this piece shows up later in the day in a different medium


Stop 3

  giant fitness center + theater




Stop 4: Detroit Institute of Art (DIA)





quilt
infamous Diego Rivera mural, covers all four walls of a giant atrium





Stop 5: across the street from back of DIA
Sculpture by Chritna West THB took some pics from accompanying video of a naked man (no penis was shown) and they were censored in the downloading process. A first for THB

This picture of/by Lauren Kalman was not censored, she's hugging the piece below to  crate the final shape

                                             inside of the next pic

There is a non-NCECA sponsored show upstairs: ceramics and plants


DB and E admiring this arrangement
Margaux was on the bus day 1, and she spent several years in Budapest, we are eagerly looking forward to her tips
pop quiz: notice anything in this painting by a member of the Club?
the ceramic piece was based on this figure in the painting (which THB suspects was done decades ago)

Stop 6




Stop 7

End table? 
coffee table?

Stop 8


Not a great intro, the show was fascinating: new work and pieces from the beginning of careers
