Frank Pahl : new suites and themes
A very special closing event featuring a performance by Only a Mother - Frank's legendary band of the 80's and 90's.

Young World
Artist Talk: Jason Murphy with Matt Taber
"What else can we measure it against if we can't measure it against everything that's come before" In conjunction with the web project: WWW.COLORTAXONOMY.WORLD. When you start wrapping yourself up in a taxonomical process, it's over. Baldessari says this thing about landlord colors, the colors his Dad, a landlord (the lowest form of capitalism, according to Marx), made him paint apartments with and how he, Baldessari, identifies them as separate from the colors of the artist. If those divisions ever existed, they don't now.
Thursday, May 21, 6pm. [Hamtramck]
