A couple weekends ago we decided to hit up a gallery that was recently voted “Best Place to Buy Art in Detroit”. If you have no idea what I’m talking about then you should probably hop on Google and search 323 East. We’ve been to a few their openings, and hot damn we have yet to be disappointed. Bringing in hitters like Glenn Barr, Ron Zakrin, and David Foox only to name a few, I have to say they have put on some good shows. With some Fresh, 70s inspired goodness by artist Netherland this opening was no different. Coming out of Chicago, this dude definitely brings color and tons of intrigue to his work.

A well known artist once said, "Art is not what you see, but what you make others see..". As you sit and sip your warm Chai Tea, ponder that for a moment. That quote is a poetic way of describing the amount of selflessness that goes in to creating a good piece of work, and the influence that work has over us all. ABOVE is dope. No question about that. But it's always refreshing to see an artist make their work bigger than themselves, and actually engage people by allowing them to see something beyond art for art sake. Once again, love the simplicity, love the location, and love the devotion to conveying a bigger and meaningful story. His latest work HELP THY NEIGHBOR takes place in Cuba. It tells the story of Cuba reaching out to help its fallen Neighbor, Haiti.

Unfortunately we just received word that the show has been cancelled. I know, I know we are a little bummed too. 

So far this mouse by Adele Peters is only a concept. It uses piezoelectricity to keep itself energized. In other words you generate power with every click, scroll, and mouse movement with out the use of batteries. Made entirely from recyclable stuff, like Cork.
