The Show
Participating artists were invited to dig through the bowels of detroit
contemporary to create works of art simply from the materials and resources
they found, thus this show is titled (and includes) "...the kitchen sink."!
detroit contemporary hosts this 168 hour show of installation, 2-D and 3-D
art opening on May 25th and running straight through to June 1st. And I do
mean "straight through".
detroit contemporary will be open for 24hrs for
the entire week with music/performance every night as well as daytime events
in the sculpture garden. In addition, Saturday, June 1st, Clark Warner will
grace us with a 4-hour atmospheric set from 4pm until 8pm. A live set by
John Ryan will be from 8pm to 9pm with Ron Zakrin as Goudron closing the
week-long celebration at 9pm.
Participating Artists
Installation and Time-Based
Robert Anderson takes hold of d.c's technology to create an ongoing,
narrative formed by events throughout the week. Coco Bruner displays a
video documentary of d.c and its past as well as creating a table-setting
for us to reflect upon the direction of our future. Anne Harrington-Hughes
and Steve Hughes surprise us with their literal interpretation of "...the
kitchen sink". Kai Kim creates an environment that draws upon Korean
Shamanism in a contemporary form and Ron Zakrin asks us to take a good look
at ourselves in the unisex bathroom.
2-D and 3-D Works
In the nature of art in the era of post-industrialism; artists transfigure
materials, (a red bowling ball, plastic spoons, blue paper, floor tiles,
bakery signs, house paint...) that are the lint in detroit contemporary's
navel, into luscious paintings and well-crafted sculptures. Participating
artists include: Kamil Antos, Robert Bielat, Jeanne R. Bieri, Tim Caldwell,
Free Multi-Medium, Inc., Maurice Greenia Jr., Scott Hocking, Tom Humes,
Coley McLean, Todd E. Mitchell, Teresa Petersen, Mark Porter, Jaron Rothcop,
Nolan Simon, Daniel Timlin, Melissa A. Vandenberg, and Rick Vian.
