This Weekend

The coming weekend is a particularly busy one for Detroit artists and galleries. Here’s a quick rundown of everything that’s going on:

Lauren Rice‘s solo show “Vestiges” opens at Org Contemporary on Friday, December 11, 7-9 pm. The gallery is located on the 3rd floor of building 2 at the Russell Industrial Center. Check out our interview with Lauren.

Also on the same floor of the Russell Industrial Center, the Museum of New Art is showing The Prinzhorn Prize Exhibition for Christo and Jeanne-Claude. The exhibition will include reproductions of drawings, collages and photographs for most of the artists’ monumental public art projects. The opening is Friday, December 11, 6-10 pm. For more info, visit DetroitMONA.com.

Close out Friday night at Pure 11, a Pure Detroit sponsored art and music event at the Magic Stick. Quite a few of my favorite Detroit bands are part of this lineup: The Silent Years, Phat Kat Big Ban, Black Lodge, Prussia, Charlie Slick, Sisters Lucas, Ohtis, the Great Fiction, Catfish Mafia, The Juliets and Scarlet Oaks. Artists are Gwen Joy, Tony Roko, Tracey Nawrot, William Juice Singer, Michael Segal, Cedric Tai, Justin Ames, Jesse Jacobi, Kill Taupe and Marianne Audrey Burrows. $11 cover,  8 pm start time.

Finally, on Saturday, December 12th at 7 pm, LIFT Detroit has a show featuring local artists Audrey Pongracz and Marc Nischan entitled Circus Mobius. Original artwork, customized toys, and limited edition prints will be available, all with a circus theme. I swear I read somewhere that there would be circus peanuts and fire breathers, but now I can’t source it. Count us in!
