THE MICHIGAN

Madeline Posner decided to
go into the art business after
volunteering at the Detroit In-
stitute of Arts. Her first clients
were in the corporate world.
On the rare occasions when
there's a disagreement, the two
try to avoid the topic for a while
and take time to think it
through.
"It's great to know I have
someone I can really depend
on," Madeline Posner said. "We
are equally committed to the
gallery, and we enjoy spending
time with our clients, who have,
at times, become personal
friends."
Ironically, days off also mean
time together. With both de-
voted to the gallery, the time
away from it often involves
scouting new talent to show.
Elaine and Eve Redmond,
the only artists in the group, left
a co-op of artists two years ago
to open their own gallery at 200
W. Fifth Ave. in Royal Oak. The
name Clique comes from their
shared interest in photography
and is a variation on the "click"
of the camera.
"Our own art is not on the
walls because we don't want to
detract from the shows that
change every six weeks," Elaine
Redmond said. "Eve is like my
soul mate, and it's nice to work
with someone who understands
what rm talking about."
Elaine Redmond, who earned
her bachelor's degree from
Wayne State University and
her master's from Western
Michigan University, is a for-
mer art teacher who introduced
both her son and her daughter
to her favorite subject.
After her son put a dark room
in the house, her daughter took
up photography, and the senior
Redmond soon followed. Their
photos, which explore the theme
of erosion, have been on display
together in other galleries.
"rm the business person, and
she's better at involving people,"
said Eve Redmond, who at-
tended the Center for Creative
Studies.
All three galleries often fea-
ture works by Jewish artists.
Because of the nature of the
pieces shown at the Detroit
Gallery of Contemporary
Crafts, Judaica items such as
mezuzahs, menorahs and drei-
dels can be found in unique and
creative forms.
The Posner Gallery recently
featured work by New York
artist Marilyn Cohen, whose
collages based on family photos
expressed the Jewish immi-
grant experience.
Clique has scheduled the
prints of Deborah Friedman to
be on display May 27-July
12.
