Fall 2019 Exhibition at Detroit Center for Design & Technology
'Moving Targets: Michigan's Evolving Cities Through the Artist's Lens'
This exhibition examines the human experience within Michigan’s evolving cities, through space and time, from post-industrial to emerging creative milieus. The relationship between people and place, both real and perceived, is explored in this collection of Michigan contemporary artist’s works. The exhibition is a rare collection of emotive stories including journey, memory, and sublimity.
Journey: Eden Villarba-Sabolboro & Thaad Alcoseba Sabolboro’s digital media captures and explores the awe-inspiring concept of journey. Through the art of visual storytelling, their film, follows the journey of a young black woman floating through an ever-changing landscape with a distinct hope for the future.
Memory: Laura Gajewski Weber's mixed-media works reflect the idea of discovering the “life” in the spaces we inhabit, even when human life has moved on. The intent with this body of work is to provoke thoughts of these subjects as witnesses to life, surviving as aging shells wrapped around the passage of time. These multi-layered collages are constructed of abandoned materials, including scraps and remnants of architectural lives past. The surfaces of these pieces are intended to parallel the weathered surfaces of the houses themselves, while allowing the viewer to glimpse fragments of the layers of time and memory that made them that way.
Sublimity: Tim Lane's paintings examine representations of the sublime: space exploration, technology and music, family and relationships, the future. Ideas of sublimity range from the magnificence of a mountain range dwarfed by the head of a young man wearing headphones to an intimate scene of two figures frozen in an undefined moment to a future stretching toward some unknown in outer space.
