Courts: Martyna Alexander Solo Exhibition

"Courts" is Martyna Alexander’s second solo exhibition with PLAYGROUND DETROIT, opening to the public on Saturday, March 23rd, on view through April 20th. Through the creation of spaces and rigid visual systems that are both fantasy and derived from a deep connection to real ancestral environments and lifestyles, Alexander explores how our psyche is affected by our families’ past and connection to place. By understanding sports- or play, place-making, and fantasy together as tools that deconstruct or replicate patterned behaviors of past lives, we begin to understand the ways in which they affect the environment, people or self.
