Doc (Focus Media / DTM) - Live Interview And Performance

Interview and Q+A By Herdest Cummings (who also goes by Das Closer, on KMS Records) @ 6:30pm

Musical Performance starts at 7:00pm and goes till 8:30pm

The performance will be out of the ordinary... I will not be playing for the audience, but rather for the exhibit, African Diaspora. Imagine if the artwork was the movie, I will be doing the score. Lots of twisted melody and obnoxious noise. Its going to be straight up Docspeed You! Wack Emperor.

On the art tip....

You may know that a handful of Burnlab editors have also been busy planning Detroit's newest gallery space for the city's oldest non-profit arts organization. This Saturday evening we are pleased to open the first exhibition at the brand new Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit.

The Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit presents: Metamorphosis

November 13, 2004 through December 18, 2004

After 25 years of nomadic existence, hosting its unique contemporary art exhibitions in diverse venues, the Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit (CAID) finally has a space to call its own. CAID has taken up residence at 5141 Rosa Parks Boulevard, in the space formerly occupied by detroit contemporary. The newly remodeled gallery will serve as an exhibition space and headquarters for the organization.

As we look forward with this first exhibition in the new space, we also look backward and celebrate CAID's long history and impact over the years. This first show will feature the work of five former board members of CAID from the past 20 years. These five will act as curators, each selecting one local established or emerging artist to present work alongside his or her own work. Besides the individual artworks, the show will include a comprehensive history of the organization and the works that were a part of it, as well as a series of lectures, talks and/or performances.

Metamorphosis will open on Saturday, November 13, 2004 and run through December 18, 2004. The opening reception will be on November 13 from 6pm to 11pm. The exhibit and opening reception are free and open to the public.

CAID is a community based non-profit organization established to foster and promote the essential link between contemporary arts and contemporary society through its exhibitions, performances, critical and public discourse and the funding of contemporary arts and art related activities.

CAID is located at:
5141 Rosa Parks Blvd., Detroit (formerly the Detroit Contemporary space)
