For us in Detroit, the most tangible reason to celebrate 2001 is that it is the three-hundredth anniversary of Antoine Loumet de La Mothe Cadillac's selection of some prodigious beach front property for Louis XIV. Meadow Brook Art Gallery is delighted to participate in the festivities. The visual arts are a major component of Detroit's heritage. Great works like the Detroit Industry frescos (1932-33), by Diego Rivera, inspire us, imprinting our view of Detroit's history and crystallizing our cultural identity. The tercentennial is an opportunity to check the cultural mirror, to take stock, and once again, recognize the cultural richness of the region. The Detroit 300 Partner Program has provided generous guidance and funding for this exhibition. The art of New Generation Detroit is a decisive evocation of the life and times of this great city. Happy Birthday Detroit!Item Harmony in variation : form and meaning in Native American art : [exhibition] Meadow Brook Art Gallery, January 11 - February 17, 2002.(Oakland University, 2002)Excerpt from introduction by Andrea Eis: Each work in this exhibition is the expression of an artist whose creative vision could remain true to a personal articulation, while being explored within a powerful cultural framework. Many works express a Native American worldview: a belief in the complementary aspects of harmony and variation, and in an equibrium in oppositions.Item Between matter and spirit : Russian icon painting : [exhibition] Meadow Brook Art Gallery January 10 - February 9, 2003(Oakland University, 2003) Machmut-Jhashi, Tamara; Kotlyarov, Eduard V.; Gross, CoreyCatalog of an exhibition at the Meadow Brook Art Gallery January 10 - February 9, 2003.

The level of disengagement from the subject in these new photographs, Best Sensuous Hands and its accompanying series Rudimentary (both 2004), is startling. Her most detached work to date, these site photographs convey an acute clinical distance emphasizing the deadpan banal pathos of these low facades and their entranceways. Mixing the metonymic and symbolic, “Tropical Relaxing Massage,” “Oriental Rose,” “Head Shoulder Waist Leg Foot,” and “Cleopatra Massage and Spa” are some of the photographed texts that lure in prospective shoppers. Shot in prosaic daylight, all glamour is leeched from these sampled images. Are they base facades or is there something brave in their fatigued doggedness to stay in business; are they documentary photographs, metaphors of alienation or is a social critique being perpetrated?Item Robert Schefman A Retrospective of Painting(Oakland University, 2005-09-10) Goody, Dick; Schefman, Robert; Lashbrook, DebraExcerpt from essay by Dick Goody: Schefman did not have art instruction in high school; he worked at both drawing and sculpture on his own. He entered college with an interest in medicine, having previously worked at a hospital where was introduced to surgery, and trained to perform autopsies. He began his serious art studies at Michigan State University. This eventually led him to pursue a graduate degree from the prestigious sculpture program at the University of Iowa. Later, living in New York, when he started to think about painting his two-dimensional representations began with the mindset of a sculptor; he had a profound interest in the structure of things and this is what imbues his paintings with their extreme formal assurance.Item Kristin Beaver(Oakland University, 2006-03-11) Goody, Dick; Beaver, Kristin; Lashbrook, DebraExcerpt from essay by Dick Goody: Kristin Beaver’s lens-based portraits are as much informed by the painterly exuberance of John Singer Sargent’s virtuoso brushstrokes as by the unabashed lushness of fashion photography. Growing up, the sway of full-color fashion spreads had a powerful allure. Photographic paradigms were the primary portal through which she first conceived the visual power of images. Her formative years were spent in flat, agricultural, central Illinois and the glamour of photography was a window into the commodity fetishistic urbane cosmopolitan world beyond, a seemingly seductive culture fueled by taste, style and an unquenchable desire for novelty. Kristin Beaver soaked this up, becoming something of a connoisseur.Item Sculpture???(Oakland University, 2006-09-09) Goody, Dick; Ewing, Kevin; Schudlich, StephenExcerpt from interview: What does the title mean? I wasn’t thinking about sculpture when I picked the artists, I hadn’t considered them sculptors – I still consider myself a painter. But now that I see them together, it’s obvious this work raises questions about what constitutes sculpture. There’s an overlap, the boundaries aren’t as clear anymore.Item James Stephens A Mid - Career Retrospective(Oakland University, 2007) Goody, Dick; Stephens, James; Lashbrook, DebraExcerpt from essay by Dick Goody: The work of James Stephens throughout the eighties was that of an artist, a gay man existing (and painting about that existence) in the urban Midwest, specifically in Detroit, a divided city on the threshold of post-industrialization – in other words, the result of being a minority and living a hand-to-mouth existence in a declining city.
