"I’ve been wanting to curate a show at The Annex Gallery for a while. Tucked away in the mini industrial complex (now artist’s studios) that is 333 Midland, the Annex is an audacious urban art space with its cavernous ceilings, cinder block walls, and a metal cat walk that circles the gallery high above the main floor creating a second gallery space with it’s own unique ambiance. While these artists have wildly different styles and aesthetics, I believe their art has what it takes to fill this imposing space with art that is big, bold, and uncompromising. (I might also add wonderfully strange, as in unwonted)."

"Library Worker Curates Book-Themed Art Show”
Group exhibit titled “Loose + Bound" celebrates varieties of book art and narrative works inspired by connection, communication, and exploration.
Exhibition: “Loose + Bound: A Celebration of Books and Art”
Location: Annex Gallery, 333 Midland, Highland Park MI
Date: March 11 - March 19, 2023
Opening Reception: Saturday March 11, 4pm-9pm
Artist Talks: Saturday, March 18, 2pm-7pm
Collage Workshop: Sunday, March 19, 12pm-4pm
(DETROIT, MI –March 11, 2023) 333 Midland’s Annex Gallery presents “Loose + Bound: a Celebration of Books + Art.” Works will be on display from March 11 - March 19, 2023. The exhibition will showcase artists who use books as a medium or inspiration in their creative practice. Handmade books, both traditional and unconventional, altered books, illustrations, works incorporating the written word, and more will be on display. The opening reception is Saturday, March 11, 4pm -9pm and features a live storytelling battle on manual typewriters with Keith Bergman and Amy Probst at 7pm. There will be a Book + Art fair on Sunday, March 12, 12pm-4pm, an Artist Chill + Chat on Saturday, March 18, 2pm-7pm, and a collage workshop with Teresa Petersen and Anne Harrington Huges on Sunday, March 19, 12pm-4pm. Other events may occur during open hours.

Books transport to other worlds, elevate ideas, and spark insights. These creative works surpass the bounds of what is considered to be a book and loosen the imagination. Like a well-rounded bookshelf, the art may provoke many experiences, including amusement and sorrow, wonder and horror. Themes among the works include memory, family, mental health, and connections.
Curator and contributing artist Linden Godlove admires books and has been employed in libraries most of her life. “My own art in the show is a celebration of the wonder books can provide as well as a protest against current challenges to books.” She aspires to be an author and regularly submits for publication. She maintains a studio at 333 Midland and exhibits her illustrative art in local exhibitions.

333 Midland Annex Gallery presents “The Bright Night Show,” an exhibition, curated by Marceline Mason, that examines the long tradition of the “nocturne” in art. In this show a group of Detroit artists reconstruct the idea of how we view a contemporary night setting. Eight artists generate a unique perspective using symbols, costumes, or the intimacies associated with the night. This body of work presents a blend of pop culture and serious meditations occupying the mystique of the night. Through the ephemera of artificial lights, club flyers, horror camp, and traditional icons, one may find community in the darkness. Participating artists include: Allison Scout, Austin Brady, Christian Mickovic, Michael Polakowski, Steven Shik, Nick Pizaña, Trevor Jahner, and Yeager Edwards. |

She’s Learning to Look After Herself.
Artists: Ashely Worden @ashelyworden Kassie Hyde @kasshyde Darcel Hawkins @darcelhawkins Danyell Neff @danyellneff Uta Brauser @fishwithbraids |
One of the things that’s of real interest is
this idea of a safe space - a roof, four walls, ground to lay on and above all else, a door to close. A normal room for normal mundane things, but embellished with Virginia Woolf-isms, this space becomes a sanctuary all of her own. A shelter from the fallout of the life that consumes her. She spends part of her time at work, part-time at home, part-time as a partner, most times as a mother, and the smallest part of the time feeling like herself. She’s split between identities - of who she was before she became a mother and who she is as mother. There is no room for overlap within these dual selves. Nothing prepared her for how completely she’d have to lose her sense of self to be the nurturer for her child. |

The Annex Gallery presents an installation of limited edition metallic art prints by artist Troy Weaver.
Troy Weaver is an artist from New York City; he moved to Detroit in 1990. Thirty-one years later and now 56, Troy has soaked up some of life's realities, presented in his 3-year study entitled "Saints and Sinners". Although taught in the traditional arts well before computers, Troy had become obsessed with this ever-evolving technology and his work has evolved in kind. Now having come to master his technique, there are plans for more works of his secular content. Enjoy the optical illusions of spatial depth in the contrasting colors, and see whatever your eyes conjure.
"As in all art, this is a touchstone of personal perceptions. And like life, we see only what we believe we see."

Each Midland artist invites one guest artist for this show
Address Unknown: An Incomplete Map of Belonging
The experience of immigration is one of transition between “here,” “there,” “nowhere,” and “everywhere,”; A transition that can be called geography of belonging. An immigrant negotiates a sense of belonging through expressions of bilingualism and biculturalism in public and private spheres. This geography of belonging is characterized and colored with an ambiguous loss: a permanent and vague sense of grief and homesickness that cannot be easily detected when a migrant is “naturalized.” An ambiguous loss is one that is partial, incomplete, disrupted, and extremely difficult to heal. Social rituals often help families remain connected and collected. However, migration disrupts these rituals as well. A map of belonging cannot be drawn unless these subjective elements of healing are recognized and located. This exhibition attempts to draw the geography of belonging in the work of immigrant artists in the metro Detroit area who have experienced the complexities of contemporary migration.

THE FUTURE IS FUN
Annex Gallery hosts a compelling peek into the days to come
DETROIT— The New Year, and a new decade, is just beginning. But according to producer Kathe Koja and her creative colleagues, the future is going to be fun.
“The Future is Fun” is a one-night only immersive event at Annex Gallery at 333 Midland, in Highland Park, featuring music, film projections, spoken word, and movement performances by a host of Detroit-area creatives. According to Koja, an award-winning writer and director whose hands-on events range from a remade Berlin punk club to a Victorian brothel to a weird spin on Alice’s Wonderland, “The Future is Fun” will invite its guests to snack, play, and help create the future.
“So much of life is uncertain—our politics, our economy, even our climate,” says Koja, “but we know that the future will be there for us. Why not see how fun it can be? And yes, there will be cupcakes.”

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. |
FLAME EFFECTS FOR THE ARTIST WORKSHOP - DETROIT, MI 2019This is a workshop for all artists, mechanical enthusiasts, and anyone who wishes to incorporate fire aspects into their projects! This is your chance to learn how to comply with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, hear from others working with flame effects where you live, and have fun while learning safe practices.
Leading this weekend will be Dave X, Fire Safety Manager for Burning Man for more than 10 years, and Eric Smith, Director of Education and Code Development for the State of Nevada Board for the Regulation of LP Gas and owner of Poofer Supply. |

Mementos are curious things. Literally defined as 'an object or item that serves to remind one of a person, past event, etc.' or 'anything serving as a reminder or warning.' On one hand completely mundane, on the other hand possessing the power to elicit emotions via an intimacy with our past. Things have a way of fixing themselves to our memory, a way of assuming meaning far greater than that which another may see as mere trinket or trash.
In this body of work, the process of fusing animal fiber around mementos is a collaboration between the object, the wool, my hand and the vivid happenings of my life that somehow live within them. The act is slow and deliberate, a meditation that is equal parts commemoration and liberation, a performance and ritual metamorphosis of memory.

ETHEREALMichael O’Reilly is a writer and artist from the Metro Detroit area. He earned his MFA in poetry from the University of Utah. His work with brass wire began as a simple lampshade created almost by accident. He has since pushed the physical properties of brass wire in many directions, from abstract sculpture and custom designs, to a complete line of lighting and home decor products. Find out more at www.brightwiredesigns.com.
Anne Mondro received her BFA at College for Creative Studies in Detroit, and completed her MFA at Kent State University before moving to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to pursue a career as an artist and professor at University of Michigan. Her work explores the physical and emotional complexity of the human body. Integrating traditional craft, fine art, and digital technology, she creates images and sculptures that investigate humanity. Learn more about Anne’s work at www.annemondro.com |

With spring being the time for rebirth "The Sacred Feminine" explores the beauty of the woman. The Greek Goddess of the month of May is Persephone, who is the Goddess of the springtime. The rebirth of the earth every year coincides with the birthing quality of the woman. The woman bares many weights and still she persists, she conquers, and she does so with beauty, strength and grace. The same beauty, strength and grace I see in the spring when the flowers and plants bloom from the earth. Celebrate the rebirth of the Sacred Feminine with us.
