Water

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT:  Bringing together diverse artists whose practices span disciplines and perspectives, Water explores how difference itself can move like a current—at times converging, at times diverging, yet always shaping what follows. Water transforms Norwest Gallery into a confluence of painting, fibers, sculpture, collage, drawing, and spatial audio that treats water as medium, archive, and shared commons. Extending Doug Jones’ recent projects, the exhibition maps ritual, memory, pleasure, migration, infrastructure, and home, linking Detroit’s waterways to wider currents, and proposes form as an ethical practice for imagining futures shaped by flow, and for reimagining histories, both individual and shared, that leave us in their wake. Detroit’s rivers are a recurring undertow, yet the exhibition reaches beyond them toward other coasts and tributaries, connecting craft lineages to speculative futures and locating in water both the inheritance and the imagination of what art and community might still become.
