Detroit: A Brooklyn Case Study opens at SUPERFRONT LA

DETROIT: A BROOKLYN CASE STUDY opens Thursday, January 20th with a reception 5:00pm – 8:30pm. On view through May 27 2011 Pacific Design Center #B208 8687 Melrose Avenue | West Hollywood DETROIT: A BROOKLYN CASE STUDY, SUPERFRONT’s first exhibit of 2011, considers Detroit both as a specific city and as a set of circumstances. This group exhibit invites not so much a comparison of Detroit and Brooklyn but a calculated misreading. How and where might the logics or circumstances of Detroit operate in Brooklyn, or vice versa? Through cartography, documentary video, architectural proposals, photography, painting and other media, Detroit: A Brooklyn Case Study explores urban typology and local specificity between places both known and imagined. The exhibit includes works by: Dana Bell, Brent Birnbaum, Berenika Boberska, Brennan Buck, Lynn Cazabon, Sara Conde, Philip Dembinski, Jill Desimini, Ellen E. Donnelly, Sebastian Fischbeck, David Freeland, David Karle, Erin Kasimow, Amanda Matles, Blake Morris, Juan Alberto Negroni, Paper Tiger TV, Kaleena Quinn, Jon Stevens, Brett Van Aalsburg, Anusha Venkataraman, Margi Weir, Audra Wolowiec and others.
