2014 ADVANCED EXHIBITIONS SCHEDULE

MOCAD announces its eighth summer season of exhibitions and programs, presenting three expansive solo artist exhibitions. The season takes place May 16 – July 27, 2014 and offers rare opportunities to see new work by important national and international artists along with compelling musical innovators. The season is curated by Elysia Borowy­Reeder, MOCAD's Executive Director, Greg Baise, Curator of Public Programs, and Amy Corle, Curator of Education and Public Engagement. MOCAD’s Exhibition and Public Engagement programs serve as a platform for influential artists and performers who cannot be seen anywhere else in Detroit. Borowy­Reeder, curator of the José Lerma's La Bella Crisis exhibition, says "MOCAD is an avid champion of artists early in their careers and we give them an atmosphere where they are encouraged to foster a cross­fertilization of ideas and dynamic interaction with visitors. Lerma's La Bella Crisis suggests new ways of experiencing art—visitors are invited to walk on top of his paintings and travel through a visual history. The exhibition is also a celebration of the diversity of artistic expression that puts the artist in the center of the community. It’s also an opportunity for visitors to have a chance to meet and exchange ideas with the artists.”

EXHIBITION OPENING MAY 16, 2014

Dara Friedman Projecting MOCAD presents three video works by Dara Friedman that focus on performance and public space. Musical is a confluence of 60 singing performances that took place on the streets of Midtown Manhattan, creating a sprawling American musical that is at times both uproariously funny and devastatingly sad. For Dancer, Friedman worked with Miami­based dancers capturing their movements that echo the architecture and vibrancy of Miami. In Friedman’s newest video work, PLAY, 17 couples, some real­life couples, others paired by the artist, all of them actors, develop and play out scenes of intimacy. Friedman’s work can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Whitney Museum of American Art, among others. She has exhibited most recently at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C. and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Born in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, Friedman now lives and works in Miami, Florida.

Dara Friedman Projecting is organized by MOCAD. It is curated by Elysia Borowy­Reeder, Executive Director of MOCAD and coordinated at MOCAD by Zeb Smith, Exhibitions Coordinator.

José Lerma La Bella Crisis In La Bella Crisis, Puerto Rican artist José Lerma revisits MOCAD's history by transforming the museum’s main gallery, once an auto showroom, into a series of booths like those typically found at international art fairs where art is routinely displayed and sold to the public. Lerma’s installation, created specifically for this site using found materials, paintings, and personal artifacts, will evolve over the period of a month with the artist laboring in the gallery every day to create an ever­changing still life and socio­political portrait. Visitors are encouraged to speak with Lerma while he uses the gallery as an artist studio and to return on June 13, 2014 to see the finished piece, which addresses issues concerning labor and comments upon the effects of transient economic models, the authenticity of simple objects, and the beauty of impermanence.

José Lerma currently lives and works in New York and Chicago, where he is a faculty member at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Artist Talk with José Lerma, June 7 at 1pm Lerma discusses his ever evolving exhibition and the beauty of Lerma discusses his ever evolving exhibition and the beauty of impermanence. Support for José Lerma: La Bella Crisis provided in part by Kavi Gupta CHICAGO|BERLIN and Andrea Rosen Gallery. José Lerma: La Bella Crisis is organized by MOCAD. It is curated by Elysia Borowy­Reeder, Executive Director of MOCAD and coordinated at MOCAD by Zeb Smith, Exhibitions Coordinator. Steve Locke there is no one left to blame

Originally organized by The Institute of Contemporary Art Boston and curated by Helen Molesworth, Barbara Lee Chief Curator, there is no one left to blame is an exhibition of new work by Detroit­raised artist Steve Locke. In a selection of paintings and neon signs, Locke captures a vulnerability not normally associated with conventional ideas of masculinity. Instead, Locke complicates our conceptions and subtly suggests the possibility of new ideas and expanded freedoms. Locke currently lives in Boston where he is an Associate Professor at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Artist Talk with Steve Locke, May 17 at 1pm Steve Locke discusses poles, portraiture, presence, and painting: the elements of his exhibition there is no one left to blame. Support for Steve Locke: there is no one left to blame provided by Samsøn Projects, the Patrice K. Aaron Family Foundation, Burt Aaron, and Spectrum Neon. EXHIBITION OPENING Midwestern Voices and Visions Friday, June 13, 6 ­ 8pm On view June 13 through July 27, 2014 Admission: Free for MOCAD Members, $5 Suggested donation Seven artist residency programs, led by the Alliance of Artists Communities and the Joyce Foundation, set out to identify strong voices that represent today’s most promising and provocative talent and that reflect the rich diversity of the Midwest. These are artists whose work may as yet be unfamiliar but whose compelling visions help define the region and the country. Midwestern Voices and Visions celebrates and promotes the work of highly talented, yet under­recognized artists of color. It broadens awareness of and support for the opportunities available at Midwestern residency programs for artists of diverse backgrounds. Featured artists: Maria Calderon, C.C. Ann Chen, Cristina Correa, Sayaka Ganz, Eric J. Garcia, LaMont Hamilton, Jiieh G. Hur, Diane Ramos. Midwestern Voices and Visions is curated by Alix Refshauge.

EXHIBITION TALK Steve Locke Saturday, May 17, 1pm Admission: Free for MOCAD Members, $5 suggested donation for non­members

Steve Locke discusses poles, portraiture, presence, and painting: the elements of his exhibition there is no one left to blame. 2014 ADVANCED PUBLIC PROGRAMS SCHEDULE The Department of Education and Public Engagement (DEPE) aims to provide a point of access into contemporary art, contributing to a lifelong conversation with challenging thoughts, objects, and ideas. Through this program, the Museum and its surroundings function as sites for investigation, experimentation, and collaboration. Institutional critique is an important element in this work. The role of the contemporary art institution is currently shifting and it is critical to explore what an institution in today’s society means to the public. The Public Engagement Program, in particular, represents an artist­driven approach to visitor engagement, while the Education Program delves into the learning that is an outcome of art­making. Audiences of all ages are involved in not merely didactic activities, but innovative performance, experimental public projects, and unexpected opportunities for self­reflection. By taking the long­view on arts education, the mission is not to create legions of artists, but rather to empower and highlight the life­enriching qualities of creative thought, art, and community­based practices. DEPE programming, as a whole, aims to be artistically forward thinking, intellectually ambitious, technologically adept, and culturally inclusive.

MUSIC Goat Thursday, June 12, 8PM Admission: $12 ($8 for MOCAD Members) Tickets available here

Polyrhythmic, pan­cultural psychedelia from Goat, a mysterious, masked band from Korpilombolo, Sweden, recently signed to Sub Pop Records. “It's Parliament covering Can's Tago Mago with Bhundu Boys and the Incredible String Band, or a super­jam involving Faust, Funkadelic, Fairport Convention and Fela Kuti.”—The Guardian.

MUSIC Circuit des Yeux + the Arch Mystics Thursday, June 19, 9PM Admission: Free for MOCAD Members, $5 Suggested donation for non­members

Circuit des Yeux is Haley Fohr, a stunning and utterly singular musician who works with bent electronics, delayed vocals, drifting percussion, piano, and acoustic guitar. “Shocking in both its presentation and delivery, hers is an otherworldly tumble through fallen­angelic vocalese, obscured beyond comprehension, across murky, decaying soundscapes in which ideas grow wild and of their own accord, and die on the vine. There seems to be no limit to her imagination, or to her abilities to convey wholly original sonic ideas that drift in and out of conventional understandings of what music is supposed to do.” ­ Doug Mosurock.

MUSIC Allied Media Conference Music Showcase Saturday, June 21, 8PM Admission: $15 (Free for AMC attendees)

MOCAD is proud to once again host the Allied Media Conference Music Showcase. This year features an all­Detroit line­up, with D3 (live Detroit techno from this Underground Resistance group featuring Mark Flash, De'Sean Jones, and Jon Dixon), Lola Valley (a hybrid of dirty funk, soul, hip­ hop, and psychedelic rock with Monica Blaire and friends), Shigeto (cool shades of ambient music, stuttering early IDM, dubstep sub­bass, and jazz melodicism), MGUN (raw and experimental electronics), and Little Animal (electronic music for ghosts and humans). Hosted by Tunde Olaniran. The Allied Media Conference brings together a network of social justice organizers, community technologists, artists, educators, entrepreneurs, and many others – all using media in innovative ways. Held each summer in Detroit, the AMC attracts participants from across North America and features over 150 workshops, strategy sessions, and special events. More info at alliedmedia.org.

MUSIC Chicha Libre Friday, June 27, 8PM Admission: $10 (Free for MOCAD Members)

Chicha Libre plays a mixture of Latin rhythms, surf music and psychedelic pop, inspired by Peruvian music from Lima and the Amazon. The Brooklyn­based band mixes up covers of forgotten Chicha classics with French­tinged originals, re­interpretations of 70s pop classics, and cumbia versions of pieces by Satie and Wagner. Inspired by Colombian accordion­driven cumbias, Chicha music incorporates the distinctive sound of Andean melodies, some Cuban son, and the psychedelic sounds of surf guitars, farfisa organs and moog synthesizers. In the 1960s, Peruvian Chicha bands were playing an oddly post­modern combination of western psychedelia, Latin rhythms, national melodies, and idiosyncratic inventions which were close in spirit to both the Congolese rumba of Franco and the pop syncretism of Os Mutantes. The music is so fresh, so exciting and its appeal so effortlessly universal that it still seems strange that it never managed to find an international audience. Chicha Libre started as a way to pay tribute to the music. MUSIC + LECTURE Lydia Lunch RETROVIRUS + No Wave Revisited Saturday, June 28, 8PM Admission: $12 ($8 for members) Tickets available here

Lydia Lunch RETROVIRUS: an all­star cast of sonic brutarians in a no­ holds­barred survey of Lunch’s musical output, from 1977 to the present. Including music from Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, 8 Eyed Spy, Queen of Siam, 1313 and Shotgun Wedding. Lydia Lunch has spent decades trolling through the subterranean sick­home black & blues creating a schizophrenic musical legacy which loops from shrill No Wave to bludgeoning hard rock, from smoky jazz noir and illustrated word to macabre psychedelia. Lunch is joined in RETROVIRUS by guitarist Weasel Walter (The Flying Luttenbachers, Lake of Dracula, Cellular Chaos), drummer Bob Bert (Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore), and bassist Tim Dahl. Preceding the concert, Lunch and Walter will present No Wave Now, a lecture that traces the cultural history of No Wave.

MUSIC Man Forever + So Percussion Saturday, July 12, 8PM Admission: $12 ($8 for members)

Man Forever is an exploratory percussion project helmed by John Colpitts (aka Kid Millions), one of New York’s most versatile and lauded collaborators and a founding member of Oneida. Since its inception in 2010, his project Man Forever has hosted an impressive list of guest performers, but few have been as specially qualified to perform Colpitts’s technically challenging meditative workouts as So Percussion. So Percussion is the United States’ premier contemporary percussion ensemble. They’ve commissioned and premiered new compositions by Steve Reich, and their interpretations of John Cage have revolutionized the legendary composer’s cannon. Following a collaborative performance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in June of 2013, So Percussion and Colpitts entered the studio together to record the album Ryonen, two pieces that combine the former’s precision and ingenuity with the latter’s restless punk spirit.

FILM + ARTIST TALK MOCAD + Media City Film Festival + Mobile Frames Present: Kevin Jerome Everson Steve Locke Wednesday, June 25, 7pm Admission: Free for MOCAD Members, $5 Suggested donation for non­ members

Kevin Jerome Everson works in film, painting, sculpture, and photography. His filmic fables articulate the profound within the ordinariness of everyday life. Everson, who was born in the working­class community of Mansfield, Ohio, depicts details in the lives of people living and working in similar American communities: a mechanic repairing an old car in a backyard, a black beauty queen in a segregated pageant, men boxing, snowplow operators in winter, young men walking into a courtroom, the aftermath of a murder. Some of Everson’s films are constructed from appropriated news and film footage, uncovering forgotten details of African­American life in the 1960s and 70s. In other films, the artist explores the waxing and waning of a community’s sense of itself and the migration of black people from the South to the North in order to find work. Everson, whose work was included in the 2008 Whitney Biennial, approaches race, sexuality, and economic circumstances with a poetic yet unflinching eye. Adopting the stance of an observer, his interest in labor has both a political and a formal aspect, exploring the relationship between the human body and the materiality of the labor it performs as both an expression of class and identity, and as a performative gesture.

Kevin Jerome Everson was born and raised in Mansfield, Ohio. He is currently an Associate Professor of Art at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville.

MOBILE HOMESTEAD

Going Mobile

'Being a globally relevant institution, our goal is to share the best of Detroit art with the world, and in turn, bring the best of the art world to Detroit. To this end, we are sending this most important piece, Mobile Homestead, to Los Angeles as a representation and nexus of our local art community, and open up continued dialogue regarding Mike Kelly’s life and work, says Amy Corle, Curator of Education and Public Engagement at MOCAD.

This spring the Mobile Homestead ­ a replica of artist Mike Kelley’s childhood home normally located on the grounds of the Museum ­ is on the move, motoring across the United States to the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles for the internationally acclaimed Mike Kelley retrospective at the Geffen Contemporary on view now through July 28, 2014.

Organized in 2012 by the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and curated by former Stedelijk Museum Director Ann Goldstein, in cooperation with the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts, the retrospective traveled to the Centre Pompidou in Paris and MoMA PS1 in New York before ending its tour at the Geffen Contemporary.

Although Mike Kelley was born in Westland, a suburban Detroit neighborhood, he lived in Los Angeles throughout much of his artistic life, so California is an ideal destination for the Mobile Homestead's first out­of­state trip and fitting final stop for the traveling retrospective of his work.

While in California the Mobile Homestead will be utilized as it is here at Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, serving as a community gathering space and a home to events, performances, concerts and exhibitions. Keep an eye on the MOCAD website for updates about the Mobile Homestead's summer vacation to California and for more information about the festivities surrounding its return to Detroit in September.

Community programs in Mike Kelley's Mobile Homestead are supported by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts. MOCAD exhibitions and public programs are supported by the Taubman Foundation. Funding for related programming is provided by Edith S. Briskin/Shirley K. Schlafer Foundation.

MOCAD is located on Woodward and Garfield between the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the Detroit Institute of the Arts, Wayne State University and the College for Creative Studies. The Museum is an innovative addition to Detroit's vibrant Midtown neighborhood, and functions as a hub for the exploration of emerging ideas in the contemporary arts. The 22,000 square foot building, a former auto dealership, has been simply renovated to maintain its historic character. With its raw, flexible and cavernous spaces, the building is well suited to the exhibition of contemporary art. Our ambitious series of public programs includes lectures, musical performances, films, literary readings and educational activities for children. The MOCAD Store includes merchandise not sold in the metropolitan area, including specialized art and culture magazines, journals and books, as well as limited edition artists t‐shirts and other functional objects. Mobile Homestead is a permanent art work by late artist Mike Kelley located on the grounds of the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. It's both a public sculpture and a private, personal architecture – based on the artist's childhood home on Palmer Road in Westland. MOCAD’s Department of Education and Public Engagement programs the ground floor of Mobile Homestead as a community space, as Kelley intended. It is home to projects, events, gatherings, conversations and displays that are created by and for a diverse public, and is intentionally unaffiliated with the Museum’s exhibitions and public programming.
