May Contain Fruit
There is a scientific basis for humanity's fascination with fruit. All of the resources we need to survive come from flowering, fruit bearing plants: Angiosperms. In this group exhibition we address fruit as the symbol for knowledge, as a symbol and visual for feminine form, as trade commodity. It will address the literal question of America's fruit supply coming from other countries, much of it from Mexico. What implications does the wall have on our access to groceries? Will America be without fruit? Will America be without knowledge? This exhibition addresses these questions through a variety of two- and three-dimensional work as well as some video work. It incorporates representation of fruit as well as real fruit after certain preservation processes.
Opening Reception, Friday July 21st
5-8pm. [Midtown, Detroit]
217 Farnsworth St.
Show runs through August 19th.

Wet Hot American Queen of the Damned
In a contemporary society that is obsessed with obtaining and discarding material possessions, artist Shaina Kasztelan is no exception. Buried beneath a stockpile of dollar store trinkets and vintage Halloween memorabilia, Kasztelan's home studio is a surreal fantasy land.For this exhibition she is interested in investigating subjects such as subliminal advertising, consumer waste and pop culture influence from her viewpoint as a millennial woman. Combining humor, nostalgia and dark subject matters, Kasztelan playfully approaches situations that fill her with both apprehension and excitement.
Opening Reception, Saturday July 22nd,
