piece of Detroit has landed
in Manhattan. Two art gal-
leries in the Big Apple are
celebrating art and artists of the Motor
City in an exhibit called "Another Look
at Detroit: Part I and IL" Housed at the
Marlborough Chelsea and Marianne
Boesky galleries in the Chelsea section
of New York City,
the show features
paintings, litho-
graphs, photographs,
sculptures and other
mediums by local
talent who presently
live in Detroit or
have lived or been
Curator Todd
inspired by Detroit.
Levin
The idea for the
exhibit came from Todd Levin, cura-
tor and director of Levin Art Group.
Levin, 53, a Detroiter who now lives
in New York, wanted to show that his
hometown — a city often associated
with poverty, foreclosures, abandoned
buildings and bankruptcy — is still
flourishing and influential in the art
world. He also wanted to pay homage
to the Detroit Institute of Arts.
While the decay of the city isn't the
focus, it is symbolized in the exhibit.
"In both galleries, the first room one
enters is largely emptied out:' explains
Levin, who grew up at Temple Israel,
graduated from Farmington Hills'
Harrison High School and attended
the University of Michigan for under-
graduate and doctoral studies.
"Detroit is said to be about 40 per-
cent vacant, and those rooms account
for about 40 percent of the total floor
space of the exhibition. Then one
passes into the subsequent rooms,
which are sprawling and extremely
active:'
The show, which runs through Aug.
8, isn't intended to be a complete his-
toric retrospective of Detroit's artistic
practice but rather a reflection of
Levin's interests and personal experi-
ence.
"There is no way I can condense
the artistic practice of a city into
two Chelsea galleries:' says Levin,
whose mother, Cele Landay, lives in
Farmington Hills. All I could do is to
share my viewpoints and interests:'
Levin decided the Marianne Boesky
Gallery would be a good fit for one of
the venues because Boesky grew up in
New York but has strong family ties
to Detroit: Her father is financier Ivan
Boesky, and her grandfather owned
Boesky's, the famed Detroit deli.
The New York show displays some
100 works of art spanning 150 years,
including pieces on loan from the DIA,
Cranbrook Museum of Art and Ford
Motor Co. It also includes work from
Detroit Jewish artists including Liz
Cohen, Brenda Goodman and Michele
Oka Doner, among others.
And there is plenty to see of Old
Detroit: a 1907 oil-on-canvas portrait
of the first board of trustees of the DIA
by Percy Ives, 1950s advertising photos
from Ford Motor Co., a 1960s photo of
Grand River and Woodward Avenue by
Bill Rauhauser.
"This is not an exhibition about
geopolitics or macroeconomics or
global finance Levin says in his press
release. "This is not an exhibition
glorifying the misguided aesthetics of
destruction porn. It is neither a feel-
good exhibition trying to accentuate
the positive, nor an attempt at organiz-
ing a proper historical overview of how
a city was birthed and decayed.
"This exhibition is a sprawling tone
poem evoking the city where I was
born and raised, a place I still feel
deeply in my identity. A soliloquy by
someone returning home, but not to
the place they once knew."
