Detroit Disassembled: Photographs by Andrew Moore
Exhibit runs June 5, 2010 - October 10, 2010 in the Arnstein, Bidwell and Isroff Galleries of the Akron Art Museum
Andrew Moore’s photographs of the Motor City are sublime—beautiful, operatic in scale and drama, tragic yet offering a glimmer of hope. They are the subject of Detroit Disassembled, an exhibition organized by the Akron Art Museum making its debut here before touring nationally. Detroit, once the epitome of our nation’s industrial wealth and might, has been in decline for almost a half-century. The city is now one-third empty land—more abandoned property than any American city except post-Katrina New Orleans.
