possession @ detroit industrial projects

I have finally gotten to the post on Detroit Industrial Projects' big installation from last weekend...yes, last weekend was huge for art openings! This raw space is great for showing edgy non-traditional, experimental artwork. Where else around town can you see a whole room, wall-to-wall, transformed by a group of artists? Besides the fading memory of RichRichRich, this is the only place that feels really "now": you can still feel the energy and intensity from the artists who make each show come together. This show reminds me of german artist Katharina Grosse's encompassing airbrushed/graffiti works that take over the walls, floor and ceiling. The space also has a current feeling of what is going on in LA right now too...big, bright installations where artists have no boundaries. The show felt unified and there was a gentle transition from artist to artist, except for Burke's found-object sculptures that stood out as more crafty/art fair/whimsical art. Even his solid painted red wall disrupted the flow for me but I was able to overlook his corner because of the other stand-out works!
