Medium, Materiality and Immateriality
Curated by Michael Stone-Richards / Installation concept by Abigail Murray
The N’Namdi Center for Contemporary Art presents New Departures and Transitions: Medium, Materiality and Immateriality. In this inaugural curated show for the N'Namdi Center in Detroit, curator Michael Stone-Richards invited a group of artists to take the stunning space and vaulted roofing of the Center to project an embodied sense of new departures and transitions in the creation of a multi-visual and richly sensuous environment of sensations and thought. Artists in ceramics, video, photography, fabric and painting were invited to transform the space of the gallery into an environment of new trajectories, departures and transitions.
