Scott Hocking: Detroit Stories
January 29, 2023 | 2-4PM
A master at documenting Detroit's ever-changing urban landscape, Scott Hocking is taking center stage this year with his first museum retrospective, Scott Hocking: Detroit Stories at Cranbrook Art Museum. The museum is also publishing a 344-page book by the same name. Considered one of Detroit’s most important contemporary voices and chroniclers, Hocking’s work spans sculpture and installation, photography and video. He gained international attention for a series of works undertaken in various abandoned buildings around Detroit, where he would assemble large-scale sculptures from the surrounding detritus. An example is an installation at Fisher Body Plant 21 titled Ziggurat East and FB#21.
Join artists, architects, art historians and community activists for a lecture series to celebrate the old and new in our neighborhoods.
Enjoy one or all five lectures. A bonus for series ticketholders is a tour of the newly restored Frederick Stearns House after the final lecture.
The presenters volunteer their services, so all proceeds go to support GPAA's free programming for senior citizens, veterans and students in art programs at area high schools.
Your Old Mansion is a program offering hosted by the Grosse Pointe Artists Association. The button below will redirect you to GPAA’s website for addition information and registration.
