    4454 Woodward Ave., Detroit Detroit

    A Surreality features the latest creations of Detroit-based artist and designer Chris Schanck, whose work reveals a collection of fantastic objects, sculptures, and furnishings that explore the expansive nature of science fiction, myth, and fantasy in crafting our reality. Located in MOCAD’s Woodward Gallery, a former auto showroom, A Surreality mirrors the nostalgic allure of 19th-century display techniques through an aesthetic guise of mythical and otherworldly motifs. An avid consumer of science fiction, Schanck’s distinctive design practice prioritizes imagination over functionality and celebrates the transformative power of extraordinary experiences and otherworldly narratives.

    Portal Fire: Shrine of the Torchbearer presents new work by the Detroit-based artist Levon Kafafian.

Through a series of immersive vignettes, we enter the magical, imaginary world of Azadistan, a sophisticated and highly stratified civilization where textiles have become symbolic markers of class and power and act as a narrative guide to the… (313) 832-6622

  • ASMA: Wander & Pursuit

    Through Feb. 23

    Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD)

    4454 Woodward Ave., Detroit Detroit

    The work of ASMA seeks to eliminate the dichotomies between functionalism and decoration, affection and pragmatism, and chaos and control by integrating all these fields in a space that can contain contemporary contradictions. Presented at MOCAD, Wander & Pursuit is inspired by romanticist debates surrounding the artist’s role in the industrial era. In this exhibition, ASMA introduces a semi-functional office customized with organic shapes and nontraditional materials, suggesting the labor space is an extension of the human body. Anchored by a singular installation, the exhibition builds on the concept of ‘Metamodernism’. A new idea within architectural theory that describes the… (313) 832-6622

    Library Street Collective is pleased to present Warp and Weft: Technologies within Textiles, a group exhibition curated by Allison Glenn, Artistic Director of the Shepherd.

From the invention of and subsequent improvements to the Jacquard loom, to the reframing of traditional weaving styles, and the incorporation of computers and other forms of mechanization, there is a long history of technologies located within, and born of, deep engagements with textiles.
