  • Collecting, Documenting, and Sharing Detroit Arts Culture: in and Around Wayne State, 1960S-1980S
    MACAA Conference Summary Collecting, Documenting, and Sharing Detroit Arts Culture: In and Around Wayne State, 1960s-1980s In the 1960s, as explosive social and political movements gave rise to the rejection of post-World War II middle-class society, Wayne State University and its nearby environs emerged as a cultural force. A loosely drawn community of artists, poets, musicians and politicos became active participants in this boldly expressive movement, with much activity centered in the Cass Corridor, adjacent to campus. While this mirrored what was going on in other parts of the country, Detroiters had their own source material, inspiration, and tools for expression. For the MACAA Conference, six panelists presented a number of projects undertaken to preserve the heritage of this important time in Detroit's cultural history, as well as efforts to document current trends. Sandra Schemske, University Art Collection Coordinator, Wayne State University In order to provide background on the art scene around Wayne State during this time period, Sandra presented a documentary video she produced for the University Art Collection, which was made in conjunction with an exhibition at Elaine Jacob Gallery on Wayne State’s campus. The exhibition and video—'Time and Place: Art of Detroit's Cass Corridor from the Wayne State University Art Collection'— featured the work of a number of Cass Corridor artists whose work is displayed in and outside of campus buildings and offices. The video provided a tour of that exhibition, and served to familiarize MACAA Conference attendees with the artists and their work, as well as serving as a testament to the continuing value the art and artists have to the university and community.
