Opening Friday, September 7, the 2012 Fall exhibition season at Work Detroit kicks off with, Stamina.

This exhibition focuses on the endurance and physicality required in art making. Whether it’s process or product, art is created or destroyed by the physical stamina of the body. As exhibited in our own bodies, there exists fracturing and dissolving, as well as development and accumulation. Like art making, these processes manifested in our bodies are the result of dexterity, agility, infection, flexibility, balance or atrophy. 

A closing reception for this thought-provoking exhibition will take place on Friday, October 5 from 6 - 9 p.m. featuring performance artist Anna Helgeson (between 5:30-7:30 p.m). This event is open to the public and includes complimentary admission, refreshments and parking.

Stamina runs from September 7 – October 5. The exhibition may be accessed between 11 a.m.–4 p.m., Tuesday – Saturday. Work Detroit is located at the University of Michigan Detroit Center at Orchestra Place, 3663 Woodward Avenue, Suite 150 in Midtown Detroit. Parking is available for exhibition guests in the structure behind Orchestra Place.
