REVISITING VISION IN A CORNFIELD

MOCAD invites you to a panel discussion celebrating our 17th anniversary by revisiting one of our groundbreaking exhibitions, Vision in a Cornfield  (2012). The exhibition fostered the complex encounter of technology, ritualistic practices, fiction, industrial legacy, and Black self-determination culture in Detroit. The panel will feature MOCAD’s Assistant Curator, Abel González Fernández, and the curators of the historic exhibition: Cary Loren, artist, editor, and cultural instigator; Rebecca Mazzei, former MOCAD Deputy Director, publisher, and curator; and M. Saffell Gardner, painter, sculptor, and co-founder of the art collective Ogun. 

The panel is an initiative that spans our current exhibition season, MOCAD: Doors Open, and the series of programs in Mike Kelley’s Space for Public Good, generously supported by Robert P. Holley and Martha J. Spear and the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts, respectively.
