The article discusses Ash Arder's exhibition, "Flesh Tones," at the Cranbrook Art Museum in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The exhibition explores the relationship between the artist, her family, and the automotive industry, with a focus on a baby shower that Arder's parents threw at the General Motors Buick City Plant in Flint. The exhibition includes a video projection, a sonic interpretation by collaborator Huey Mnemonic, and a sculptural work featuring a video monitor embedded in a car door. Arder also incorporates rituals involving replicas of her father's Cadillac hood ornament, which are displayed in a refrigerated case powered by solar panels. The exhibition serves as a reflection on the artist's family history and a call for environmental sustainability in the face of the automotive industry's impact. [Extracted from the article] |
