Five Detroit area artists show collaborative works in an exhibition at
Whitdel Arts in
Southwest Detroit neighborhood. The exhibition, “I don’t believe in
art. I believe in artists” is curated by 2009 Kresge Artist Fellow Cedric
Tai (Detroit). Tai was awarded the opportunity to curate a
show after competing in a curatorial program at the Contemporary Art
Institute of Detroit (CAID). The program required applicants to organize
a prototype exhibition and install it in two days. The artists in
Tai’s prototype show, Adrian Hatfield (Ferndale), Megan Heeres (Detroit),
Justin Marshall (Hamtramck), Isaac Richard (East Detroit), Janine Surma
(Hamtramck) and Ian Swanson (St. Claire Shores) were invited to make work
in collaborating with the young curator during the creation and
installation process. “Cedric wanted us to create hybrid works in a
holistic play of action and reaction between him and the artists.
The process is unique and innovative,” says participating artist Megan
Heeres. According to the curator, the show, with its title taken
from a quote by Marcel Duchamp, is meant to reflect the influx nature  of
how artists conceive new bodies of work. “These six artists were
handpicked for their diversity of aesthetics, willingness to collaborate
and ability to address a unique space with their work,” says Tai.
Opening reception photos by Cedric Tai. The exhibition
is the first for the newly formed Whitdel Arts (located in the gallery
formerly known as Ladybug Gallery). The exhibit runs through May
22nd, 2010. Gallery hours are 12pm to 4pm on Saturdays or by
appointment. Contact info@thecaid.org
or (313) 899-2243 ext 151 for more information. To learn more about
the artists and their work go to http://www.thecaid.org/believe.html.
