Scandalous
People
|
| 2007 |
Librettist, Myla
Churchill and Composer, Benny
Russell
Featuring Ted
Levy, Tony nominated choreographer (Jelly's Last
Jam), Meg
Paul (Movin' Out) from the Detroit Music Hall and many
more talented artists from
the Metro Detroit area.
Set
in 1920s Harlem, Scandalous People is a "jazzical" rife with
leggy chorus girls, vaudevillian antics, backstage drama
and comedy. The story revolves around Dewey Demarkov, an
African-American showman and resident impresario of the Do Drop
Inn. Dewey's innovative productions garner
the praise and attention of the infamous Mae West, who wants
a show built around her and the notorious gangster Dutch Schultz,
who's looking for a foray into Harlem's speakeasy scene. With
their money and support, Dewey's dream of mounting a groundbreaking
black and white revue on racially polarized Broadway seems within
reach…but at what cost?

5th Annual Cinco de Mayo Celebration |
|
| 555
Gallery is proud to announce it's 5th annual Cinco de Mayo celebration.
This year the gallery will show three visual artists, founder
Monte Martinez exhibiting works from his Trraducciones Collection,
a series of work depicting the bloodline of his ancestors, alongside
Detroit based Floridian artist Jessie Stark. Jessie describes
his work as surreal for real, a break down of complexity into
its simplest form. Alex Lengyel, also from Miami via Chicago,
will be presenting his abstract art. Lengyel's work has been exhibited
at Art Basil in Miami, and his pieces focus on collage with a
personal inquiry of his own. |

George
Crockett Academy Exhibition |
| |
 |
We're excited
about our first In- house- art education workshops! 555 staff
and 4 local artists worked with the 4th and 5th graders from 555's
neighbor, the George Crockett Academy.
Students from
neighboring George Crockett Academy interacted with and learned
from professional artists in two week-long after school art workshops.
Students completed an art project supported by a writing project
with the assistance of 555 artists and interns from the College
for Creative Studies.
These workshop
took place in March and April, 2007. Families and friends were
invited to a student exhibition on April 29, 2007 at 555.
Thank you

| “This
event showcases a pin-point drop of the vast amount of talent that
Detroit has working in its businesses and offices. The show, “In
the office” is a great chance for colleagues working in arts
to come together in a gallery setting outside their day-jobs. This
re-affirms the notion that Midtown is truly an arts and culture
district from its streets to its corner offices, museums to its
inhabitants. This is just one small highlight of those who dedicate
their lives to promoting the arts in this area as well as in our
society as a whole. Through the actions of education, arts administration
and museum/gallery work these names provide a glimpse into the otherwise
possibly overlooked sections of the business of art.” |
-Katherine
Armstrong-Blanchard |
 |
| The
show includes a variety of works representing artists that work
in the Mid-town Detroit district. Some offices included are the
Admissions team at the College for creative Studies and members
of the Education department at the Detroit Institute of Arts. The
theme of the grouping is how artists adapt to full time positions
outside the studio environment. How does our idea of art change
when our time is spent focusing on other issues. Creativity will
arise whether we foster it or not so where does it emerge? In your
clothes, maybe your house or perhaps in your studio but is it different
some how, changed by your profession? Does your "office"
work creep into your paintings? |

the visual arts of Andy Gabrysiak take the audience on a trip through
time and space with plenty of glitter, bubbles, confetti, and sweat
to lubricate the passage. Get it or not, it's always an experience

| Goal-
to enlarge the artist's reputation in the community by the same
dispersal pattern as above and to illicit secondary effects that
are desirable. |
Objective-
to get patrons to purchase art more frequently and in larger quantities
by dispersing the artwork among a more diverse group whom could
certainly afford $100.00 (One Hundred dollars US) for work that's
obviously worth 5 to 10 times as much normally.

| --Enlarging,
educating, and cultivating the buying public toward local artist's
work.
--Initiating, hopefully, secondary sales between the sold work's
first owner and an earnest collector, thereby raising the dollar
value of the work while it's at large ( a phenomenon not often
observed while the artist is young and breathing.)
--And for the artwork to eventually establish themselves as quantities
of economic exchange that the artist can possibly control from
the side of production. |

Benefit
for the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies and the Visions of Peace
Children's Art |
| |
| Celebrating
the legacy of Lillian Genser, the Visions of Peace Children’s
Art Show, and the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies with a silent
art auction and concert. |
Lillian
Genser had been active in both the Center and the Children’s
Show. A former director of the Center, Lillian was focused on peace
education of children. ‘Children will be the citizens and
leaders of tomorrow, and by anointing them with the torch of envisioning
the possibility of a peaceful world and a sense of global identity
with other children of other nations, we are planting the seeds
for cultural transformation’.
The Visions of Peace Children’s Art Show is an annual art
exhibition (held at Swords into Plowshares Peace Center and Gallery)
that encourages children to speak their minds through art. It allows
children to incorporate the UN Convention in the Rights of the Child
into the artwork, and teaches the children tolerance and nonviolence,
along with self-respect and love of self. |
Convention
on the Rights of the Child:
|
*The
Right to affection, love and understanding
*The Right to adequate nutrition and medical care
*The Right to free education
*The Right to full opportunity for play and recreation
*The Right to a name and nationality
*The Right to special care, if handicapped
*The Right to be among the first to receive relief in times of
disaster
*The Right to be a useful member of society and to develop individual
abilities
*The Right to be brought up in a spirit of peace and universal
brotherhood
*The Right to enjoy these rights, regardless of race, color, sex,
religion, national or social origin |

"A
diverse group of developing women artists. In our diversity - The breadth
and depth of our work, our fresh, powerful approaches, and individual
identifications with the label 'woman' - we hope to dispel stereotypes
about what is 'women's art,' further, to question the need for the term;
'women artists.'
Can we can finally drop this qualifier and just be artists?"

| As
the lines of profiling grow more diverse, it is important to ask:
Who and what are being profiled in our society? Any person who has
been overtly profiled is uncomfortably familiar with the feeling
of bald scrutiny, yet profiling today is pan-spectral and often
under - the - radar. |
|
| In
this exhibition, 555 Studio/Gallery encourages the public to consider
the means and motives behind profiling. |

“The
events of September 11, 2001 produced an emotional metamorphosis
in this country. Stress, sleeplessness and a vivid array of
aches and pains have pushed artists to channel their feelings
through the creative impulse. On the fourth anniversary of
the fall of the Twin Towers, we see artists’ response
to the fear that has become woven into the fabric of our lives.”
-Brenda
Oelbaum, Curator “Fabric of Fear”
“The
fundamental problem about a discourse on terrorism, is that
one is reduced to saying one side is good and the other is evil.
The value of art is that it challenges the viewer to take more
than one point of view.”
