Emery Gallery
Shows Furniture
The Joy Emery Gallery in
Grosse Pointe Farms will ex-
hibit "Furniture/Sculpture"
Nov. 9-Dec. 29. This show in-
cludes the work of eight
nationally-known artists who
transform objects such as
chairs, benches, and clocks in-
to works of art. The artists in-
clude Clifton Monteith,
Robert Stanzler, Tommy
Simpson, Dale Wedig, Steven
Spiro, Billy Mayer, Albert
Paley and Wendell Castle.
The sculptural designs of
these pieces range from
playful to elegant. Some of
the materials used include:
steel, iron, metal flooring, ex-
otic woods, and bronze. These
elements are used in such a
way that they offer a contem-
porary approach to the
traditional.
"New Objects" will be the
subject of a gallery talk given
by art historian Hope Palmer
11 a.m.-1 p.m. Nov. 9. Ms.
Palmer's lecture will address
the changing role of crafts in
contemporary art. For lec-
ture/lunch reservations, call
the gallery, 886-1444.
Calligraphy
On Display
Elaine Grohman's one-
woman abstract calligraphy
show, 5-8 p.m. Nov. 11 at the
Great Frame Up in Farm-
ington Hills, will coincide
with the Moscow opening of
a Russian/American callig-
raphy exhibit sponsored by
the International Typeface
Corporation. Two of Ms.
Grohman's pieces were ac-
cepted by the jury for this
cultural exchange event.
Ms. Grohman's calligraphy
reflects her sense of design
and use of color as she makes
her letters on predominately
black backgrounds and incor-
porates paper-weaving in
some of her pieces. This will
be the first time signed and
numbered prints of her art
will be available.
For information, call the
Great Frame Up, 855-1766.
Gallery Plans
New Exhibit
The Route 10 Gallery in
Farmington Hills will host a
show featuring functional
and non-functional furniture,
paintings and installations by
Judith Ann Corba and
Nicolas van Kridjt.
The show will open Nov. 10
and run through the end of
the month.
Minimalism is apparent in
the lines of Mr. Van Krijdt's
multi-media furniture.
Materials such as wood, con-
crete and purposefully
distressed metals comple-
ment the work.
Ms. Corba has captured, in
oil on canvas, her exploration
of space, line and color in com-
positions which invite the
viewer into thoughtful, con-
temporary venues.
The Route 10 Gallery will
host a reception for the
Michigan Cancer Foundation
Partners 6-10 p.m. Nov. 7.
For a contribution per per-
son to benefit MCF, a buffet
dinner will be available at the
Vineyards Cafe next door to
the gallery.
A silent auction and a
percentage of all gallery sales
will also benefit cancer
research.
For dinner reservations, call
Colleen Brown at the
Michigan Cancer foundation,
