Space is the Place @ Cranbrook
There's a great show up at cranbrook right now - Space is the Place! I don't want to say too much to give it away...this is a show you need to experience. I think if I have to see a group show then it is all up to the curation of the show to bring it together and make it coherant and interesting - which this show did and included all mediums to express space exploration. This show left me feeling like I had gone back during the space race time!
jason rogenes - styrofoam and floresant lighting
adam ross (above, below) I really loved these drawings.
steve roden - (wine bottles, cd player, speakers) In this piece the artist uses an old Soviet vinyl recording of Yuri Gagarin's broadcast from the first orbital flight in 1961.

How is it that you always seem to miss the exhibitions that run concurrently at the FORUM gallery at Cranbrook (the student-run artist space)?? On view now is a National Juried Exhibition curated by Susanne Hilberry and Paul Kotula.
ann gets around alot and we really appreciate her efforts, but she is not a paid reporter for the newspapers
oh i forgot, THERE ARE NO PAID FULL TIME ARTS REPORTERS IN THIS AREA!
she does great for someone who is a working artist and also holds down a job. the fact that she cares enough to take time to do this blog is significant.
Anon, why dont YOU start a blog and cover some of these shows you are referring to? Help Ann out. Be a new voice. Be a part of the solution
Another anon . . . not the one above . . .
There are many of us that cannot make it around town and appreciate Ann's coverage of the openings and shows.
Thank you, Ann.
