    art in architecture Acknowledgments It is a pleasure to thank those who helped to make this exhibition a success. First and foremost, I would like to thank the Michigan Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, whose generous support made this exhibition possible. I owe my deepest gratitude to the institutions from whose collections we borrowed objects for inclusion in this exhibition. My heartfelt thanks goes out to Leslie Edwards, Robbie Terman, and Laurie Kay at the Cranbrook Archives; Roberta Frey Gilboe at the Cranbrook Art Museum; David Schneider and Tracy Irwin at the Detroit Historical Museum; Jim Joyce at the Friedman Real Estate Group; Meredith Long at Meadow Brook Hall; and Jan Durecki at the Rabbi Leo M. Franklin Archives. Working with these individuals has been a joy and I truly appreciate all of the time and energy they spent preparing for the loan of these objects. Thank you also to the numerous archives, museums, historical societies and libraries throughout the state and the country who granted permission for the museum to use their photographs in the exhibition. Additionally, I would like to express my gratitude to the Flickr photographers who generously allowed the museum to include their photographs in the exhibition. It has been a pleasure to work with all of you. I wish to thank Tawny Ryan Nelb for her insightful essay that appears in this catalog. John Gallagher, Architecture Critic and Urban Development Writer at the Detroit Free Press, and Jennifer Baross, Partner, Destination Detroit Media, were gracious in accepting the museum’s invitation to give lectures during the course of the exhibition.

  • In Duchamp's Shadow : Dadaist in the City of Machines
    d IN DUCHAMP’S SHADOW: Dadaist in the City of Machines John Cohassey In Detroit’s Scarab Club, a charming brick 1920s arts and crafts structure is Marcel Duchamp’s signature—thirteen small cryptic letters on a wooden ceiling beam. This talismanic auto­ graph stirred my interest in finding out why and when Duchamp added his name to the collection of signatures in the club’s lounge. I was aware that Duchamp came to Detroit in November 1961 to speak at the Detroit Institute of Arts and re­ ceive an honorary degree from Wayne State University. This being the only information about Duchamp having visited De­ troit of which I knew, I set out to find a link between the Scarab Club signature and his coming to Detroit in 1961. We may never know why Duchamp—who never spoke fondly of history, especially its art movements and “isms” and rejected all facets of aesthetic commercialism—accepted an honorary degree from an urban university so far from the powerful centers of the art world. But for an artist fascinated by the machine and mechanical drawings, Detroit may have been a fitting place for such an honor. At the time of Duchamp’s visit, the seventy­four­year­old artist had emerged from a relatively isolated life in New York City to appear on television and at museum and gallery events. After nearly a half century of bachelorhood (he was married briefly in 1927), Duchamp married again in 1955 and became an American citizen. Unlike many other influential artists, he 11 avoided a self­destructive path.
