​THIS SATURDAY:

The 2019 graduating class of the College for Creative Studies (CCS) Fine Arts Department is pleased to announce the opening of I Make My Biggest Moves, curated by Bridget Finn. This group exhibition includes works by Alli Stinson, Allie Runyan, Annika Maschke, Anthony Brazeau, Hai Mya Lazar, Jessica Harvey, Jon Phillips, Leslie Frisch, and Naomi Bush.


​The title of this show stems from a casual remark by celebrated Detroit-based poet, David Blair. Blair said to the Metro Times prior to his passing in 2011: "I make my biggest moves." He was speaking of a time in his life as a creative producer and an artist. Blair was talking about focus, rigor, and what happens when one creates freely from a place of flexibility, but with a determined vision.

All nine of these artists started their creative journeys together in Detroit at the College for Creative Studies. With this exhibition, these artists are displaying work informed by a shared experience, as well as the artistic practices that emphasize each of their individual creative processes.

MAKINGS​ OF YOU

Makings of You is a traveling survey series providing an artful perspective of the human experience.
​
Inspired by legendary singer-songwriter Curtis Mayfield, this exhibition divulges the intrinsic, yet nuanced nature of ‘becoming’ - reflecting upon memory, materiality, manifestation and metaphor as tools for spiritual transformation.

This three-day immersive installation will feature visual artworks, live collaborative performances and community programming. Join us as we explore disrupting social truths, discuss how abjection molds enlightenment and form distinct ways to redefine ‘self’.
