Two spaces that come to immediate mind are the now defunkt Critical Space and the CPop Gallery.
Critical hosted numorous young,talented Detroit artists -both experimental and traditional- and DJs. SK-1 (tad mullinex-SP?) had a residency there and so did Jerry Abstrakt. Though the nights were never packed, it was still a very cool place to hang out,hear music and see art and meet the artists. Ghost 2000 showed alot of work there as well, his art is incredible if you haven't seen it. Though the people who laid down the influence, those who continue it should be recognized and given the correct forum to do so. The space was also host to one or two parties for MotorMouthMagazine.
CPop, Ive been in once or twice and though Im not familiar with it, has given younger and old artist a chance to show their work in Detroit ina more formal gallery setting. And shall we NOT forget Subculture Media located upstairs:).
thats my .10 on this one. diana ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
