Ground Zero, an exhibition of post 911 art, will be on display from July
13th to August 24th 2002 at Detroit''s Museum of New Art, in the historic
Book Building on Washington Boulevard, in the downtown center of the city.
The show , organized by Artists Frank Shifreen, Daniel Sheffer and Julius
Vitali, features the work of over 50 artists in the 2nd floor exhibition
space of the Museum. Artists from all over the country have created works in
many styles, varied media and viewpoint that depict artists reactions to the
world since last September and the drama of cultural clash.
Under the guidance of Museum Director Jef Bourgeau, the Museum has been at
the forefront of Detroits resurgence as a center of innovative arts and
culture. He hopes that the exhibition can help in healing and also examine
our present and future.
The same organizers created "From the Ashes", a renowned exhibition in New
York that galvanized the art community . It opened on October 8th and was a
memorial for those lost and a benefit for the families of fallen heroes.
Paul Lieberman , in an Article in the LA times about the exhibition. Wrote-
" the events of Sept 11 were an overwhelming visual experience that demanded
a visual response … In the midst of chaos and destruction, art stands
witness to the creative soul""
The works in Ground Zero examine the issues of 9/11 and the seismic shift
that has occurred as a result of the challenge to western values by radical
Islam. We have changed. Irony and distance have given way to a more serious,
committed, if polarized time. Daniel Scheffer says , " We have ended an
isolationist era in the U.S and have come face to face with our own
vulnerabiltiy and strength. We are connected to the rest of the world."
The exhibition organizers hope to engage the public in exploration and
dialogue . In the imagination, images can reveal knowledge not accessible to
logic. We are an IMAGI- nation impacted by visual bombardment from an
endless data stream. This show features art that illuminates, educates and
entertains
