Final weeks to see “Experience & Expression” at the Detroit Institute of Arts An installation featuring a selection of contemporary art never, or rarely seen by the public from the DIA’s permanent collection
Updated Sep 20, 2021
September 20, 2021 (Detroit)—There are two weeks left to see the current installation of contemporary works in Experience & Expression at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). Featured in ArtDaily and other local publications, this installation closes Sunday, October 3. Experience & Expression is free with museum admission, which is free for residents of Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties. All museum visitors must make an advance reservation by phone at 313.833.4005 or online at https://ticketapp.dia.org.
This installation includes approximately 25 works, including recently acquired objects that have never, or rarely been seen by the public by artists such as McArthur Binion, Rashid Johnson, Elias Sime, and Avery Singer. Other artists in the installation include Marina Abramovic, Ghada Amer, Jennifer Bartlett, Hernan Bas, Nicholas Hlobo, Allie McGhee, Yoko Ono, Sean Scully, and more.
The works are grouped into three themes: abstraction, art meant to evoke emotion or an experience to the viewer by experimenting with color, form, and texture; materiality, understanding and exploring the meaning of the materials used; and meditations on identity, works that express the artist’s personal experiences and emotions. The installation provides novice art-lovers with an introduction to contemporary art and invite visitors to look closely, to ask questions, and to connect with their own experiences.
This installation supports the DIA’s goal to present and highlight artists of diverse backgrounds and cultures. The museum is committed to sharing the individuality and universality of experiences, ideas, and concerns around the world and at home.
