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.

As we read them, our eyes travel across the time and space of the photograph, recording the surface, with its geometry and abstractions, in a way that is different from the perception of a single iconic image. It is this effect, this passage, which is not unlike the "passage effect" in Duchamp's paintings Nude Descending a Staircase, No 2 or The Passage from the Virgin to the Bride (both 1912), that makes these works so unusual and unique.Item Secret Life of Suburbia | Paintings by Deborah Sukenic(Oakland University, 2004-09-11) Goody, DickExcerpt from essay: Deborah Sukenic's paintings expose the fragile psychology of suburbia. Good art is seldom spawned from contentment and the restlessness in Sukenic's work oozes up through cracks, spreading across the foreground and forecourts of her bleak suburban piazzas. Neither landscapes nor genre scenes, these paintings explore the fragile relationship between the remembered and the observed delving into the artist's memory through painting. The psychological realm explored in her work is the not so pristine, entropy ridden architectural domicile unit. Sukenic's fatigued houses and interiors invite inquisition. Perhaps she wants us to dig, and dig deeper - archeologically that is - to deconstruct with Freudian trowel and brush to find out what went awry because in her version of suburbia all is not always well.Item Wendy Roberts | Paintings(Oakland University, 2004-10-16) Goody, Dick; Roberts, WendyExcerpt from essay/interview with the artist: Leaving no stone unturned, I asked Roberts to summarize her work. She said: "Rain on the gunwales of a slow-gliding wooden canoe."Item Appliance | Nolan Simon(Oakland University, 2004-10-16)Excerpt from essay/interview: Simon's work encompasses the practical life of operating, of driving, of using electrical devices, of being surrounded by sprayed, machined finishes and of the faceless facades of machines that evoke nothing but efficiency and ease. The eclectic epistemology of these works fuses the Minimalist aesthetics of artists like Donald Judd, the factory ethos of contemporary design and the anodyne whiteness of Formica.Item Imaging a shattering earth : contemporary photography and the environmental debate(Co-published by Oakland University and CONTACT Toronto Photography Festival, 2005) Baillargeon, Claude; Kennedy, Robert F., Jr; Sutnik, Maia-Mari; McCormick, KatyCatalogue of an exhibition held at the Meadow Brook Art Gallery, October 29-December 18, 2005.
