A
group show including artists who “work” in the arts,
in full and part-time positions in the Detroit area. |

“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.” |

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? |
