David Klein Gallery is pleased to present UnRelated, curated by Detroit-based designer Jack Craig for the 16th edition of the Detroit Month of Design festival. UnRelated serves as a platform for the exploration of creative partnerships by fifteen Artist/Designers.
The core theme of the show is rooted in collaboration, designed to examine the processes, opportunities, challenges, tensions, and possibilities that emerge when creators work together. By gathering a carefully curated group of artists and designers, the exhibition will highlight a diverse spectrum of artistic perspectives. Some are deeply accustomed to collaborative workflows and others maintain strictly individual practices. Featured artists include Ebitenyefa Baralaye & Evan Fay, Nina Cho & Jack Craig, Dee Clements & Seth Keller, Toomas Toomepuu & C Hancock, Iris Eichenberg & Alberte Tranberg, James Anthony Haddrill & Alexander Buzzalini and Chris Shanck, and Wes Taylor &Tony Hope.
The resulting works take on a variety of compelling forms; ranging from simultaneous co-creation and exquisite corpse-style sequential processes to cross-interventions on existing objects and other experimental formats deeply connected to the collaborative theme.
