Dreams into Action: New Collaborations with Detroit Classrooms

May 18 - June 8; Reception: May 25, 4-6PM

Detroit Connections is a series of courses offered through the University of Michigan School of Art & Design that take students, staff, and faculty weekly from Ann Arbor to Detroit to lead art classes and design collaborative projects with youth in Detroit schools and community organizations. Promoting engaged and active citizenry and requiring out-of-the-box creative thinking, Detroit Connections brings together individuals from a variety of different backgrounds to co-create and share resources. In a year that Detroit Connections has been expanding its reach to partner with additional schools, neighborhoods, and age groups, Dreams into Action showcases the products and processes of the ongoing collaborations students and faculty from the School of Art & Design have built across the city.

AMERICA!

Curated by Joe Levickas

July 27th, 2012 – August 24th, 2012
Opening reception, July 27th, 6-9

In recent years, America, as a place, a culture, a concept, has increasingly become the material of artists. We see the repurposing by artists of all things American, including corporate brands and logos, music and fashion, flags, Presidents, taxidermied deer and bald eagles, American Indian motifs, and political advertisement references. This show will include works that address this broad concept with widely varying perspectives and agendas, including nationalistic pride, political and social commentary, and fascination with images and forms that are essentially American.
