What Pipeline is honored to present a selection of previously unshown works by Mary Ann Aitken. Mary Ann Aitken (b. 1960, Detroit, d. 2012, Brooklyn) was for thirty years a prolific artist. During the late 1980s she painted everyday scenes including views of Detroit as seen from her studio at the Cary Building. Cropped into squares, these paintings elude being labelled landscapes or still lives; they click effortlessly into our post-Instagram perspective. Yet what may appear effortless in Aitken's work never was, and her dedication to her vision continues to engage contemporary audiences.
Opening Reception, Friday September 23, 6-9pm. [Southwest, Detroit}
