Studio Visit: Malt

We had the oppurtunity to visit the studio of Malt as he prepares for his upcoming two person show with Teads at Start Gallery in Detroit. Malt’s work has really evolved, and the attention to detail is incredible. The show runs from February 4-8th.

Recap – Transliteration at 323 East Gallery

Dennis Jacobs

Dan Armand

Last year, I was lucky enough to be invited by 323 East Gallery to be part of a two person show in 2012. That show, featuring my work and the work of Dan Armand opened this past Saturday. The show, titled “Transliteration” featured work that spanning multiple mediums. In all, the show featured 33 pieces, including collage, paintings, and sculptures, all with underlying, often political, literary themes.

Much more, including photos from the opening behind the cut.

After the Factory

What happens after the factory? Detroit Lives traveled to Poland to make a documentary about reinvention in post-manufacturing cities. It parallels Detroit with Lodz, whose textile industry has seen a similar decline to Detroit’s auto business. After the Factory premieres at the DIA’s Detroit Film Theater on Thursday, February 2nd at 7pm. Check out the Facebook invite for all the details on the event. It looks to be a beautiful film that gives new context to the problems we’ve been facing for years. Definitely looking forward to it.
