CASS CORRIDOR Photographs by Roger Martin March 5Th Through April 30Th Opening Reception: Friday, March 12Th 6-9Pm

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact • Chris Bennett 313 768 5020 • [email protected] 3726 Monroe St. Dearborn, MI 48124 Monday through Friday 11am-4pm • Saturday by appointment www.imageworksfineart.com CASS CORRIDOR Photographs by Roger Martin March 5th through April 30th Opening Reception: Friday, March 12th 6-9pm Image Works Gallery is pleased to present Cass Corridor, Photographs by Roger Martin. Shot in the early 1970’s, Martin’s images transport the viewer to a time and era of Detroit’s Cass Corridor that is now long gone. His use of the documentary style brings light and dark humor to his work by probing for statements of truth in the every day moment. The images were taken in private residences, places of employment, and on the streets, but Martin emphasizes the importance of photographing his subjects in their natural surroundings. “I try to see people where they are and let them describe their situation. It would be easy to embrace the naïve concept that the world exists of beautiful, smiling people, but to do so reflects the notion that certain things don’t exist.” Martin spent more than two years walking the Cass Corridor sensing moods and atmosphere of this colorful area, at the same time attempting to anticipate the visual elements coming together. By relying on his own intuition and familiarity he is ready to snap the shutter of his camera when the moment comes. About Roger Martin Martin was born in 1949 in Dearborn, Michigan and began attending workshops at the Photo Guild of Detroit in 1963. He graduated from Fordson High School in 1967 and enrolled in Photography courses at Henry Ford Community College before attending Wayne State University for his Bachelors and Masters Degrees. He has exhibited his work at Detroit Artists Market, the Gallery of Photography in Birmingham, the Gabriel Richard Gallery in Greektown, Detroit Public Library and the Scarab Club. .

Focus groups identified non-burdensome ways that project partners were already collecting or could easily collect information to quantify and track impact. This feedback was developed into quantitative surveys that were administered via partners in 2018 and analyzed in early 2019. Forty one percent of City of Design partners collected or are planning to collect data related to their project’s impact. At this early stage of the work, event attendance and demographic data is easiest to collect, and only three partners were able to measure the impact of programming on changes in perspective, thoughts on participation, or building usage. An additional three partners collected data on investment or revenue from public and private sources. Data collection is ongoing. Wherever impact is cited within this report, it has been sourced via these partner data collection efforts. Interviews to inform the development of the three case studies were conducted in March, 2019, by EarlyWorks, llc. 2 DETROIT UNESCO CITY OF DESIGN | 2019 MONITORING REPORT By championing Detroit design, we contribute to the As a result, we are happy to announce that Detroit development of a thriving city that offers opportunities Creative Corridor Center has become Design Core for all.

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.

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.
