Download a PDF of our exhibition announcement.
Join MOCAD for the opening of its three newest exhibitions: Broadcast, Becoming: Photographs from the Wedge Collection and Business as Usual.
Music will be provided by Blanche: "Blanche create a gothic Americana, at once haunting, gloomy, honest and passionate, imbued with a wry irony that aptly transcends the slack-jawed mugging of many similarly bent alt-country hucksters. With a rich history all their own, Blanche call upon the spirits of America's past, not so much with sentimentality for a time they never knew as with a sincere longing for a time when ideas meant something different..."
and also by Gardens: "Gardens features former members of two of Detroit's most promising new
acts, Human Eye and Genders. Together they cultivate a more melancholic,
anarchic pop drone than either of those forward reaching bands. Equal
parts Velvet Underground, Modern Lovers proto-punk and shambling Sonic
Youth, Half Japanese psychedelic anti-pop." |
