A joint project between New York City's Marianne Boesky Gallery (509 West 24th Street) and Marlborough Chelsea (545 West 25th Street), Another Look at Detroit presents works and objects by over fifty artists, designers, and cultural contributors. The focus of this exhibition is the city of Detroit as a creative center, historically through to today. Spanning a period of 150 years, and taking place at both galleries' Chelsea spaces, this exhibition is by no means a comprehensive survey. Rather, Another Look at Detroit intends to portray a vision as sprawling and complex as the biography of the city itself.

Another Look at Detroit, curated by Todd Levin, runs June 26 through August 8, with an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. on June 26. The exhibition features work by Mary Ann Aitken, Keith Aoki, James Chatelain, John Egner, Michael C. Luchs, Ann Mikolowski, Gordon Newton, Ellen Phelan and Robert Sestok on loan from the Wayne State University Art Collection.

"This is not an exhibition about geopolitics or macroeconomics or global finance," said curator Todd Levin. "This is not an exhibition glorifying the misguided aesthetics of destruction porn. It is neither a feel-good exhibition trying to accentuate the positive, nor an attempt at organizing a proper historical overview of how a city was birthed and decayed. This exhibition is a sprawling tone poem evoking the city where I was born and raised, a place I still feel deeply in my identity."
