Detroit + Art

Detroit + Art makes recognition the central idea that art is simply with every head turn as you explore the city of Detroit and its surroundings. The curated overall theme of the book is Time and Space as you put on your architectural lenses and experience how the urban fabric of Detroit has developed. Time carries decay and creation in any space. This 100-page black and white book contains six sections that critically challenges the reader's thoughts as it visually and textually highlights the diversity in Detroit's arts, photography, architecture, community artist, murals, poetry written by Korzell Coe, and major historical points that are overlooked. While reading, the interpretation of the title, Detroit + Art, can be read as Detroit Plus Art and/or Detroit and Art. This book not only recognizes Detroit's past, present, and future but the urge for remembrance of a major American city's history. Korzell Coe as a new young professional in the field of architecture presents a vision of what Detroit is now and forever will be: art itself, redemption after collapse, and the illumination of art.
