Barely There: New MOCAD exhibit opens, Rodriguez performs Friday
Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit
May 27, 8 p.m.
Welcome back Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD), which opens a new group exhibition, featuring James Lee Byars, Luis Camnitzer, Jason Dodge, Pablo Helguera, Christoph Keller, Lee Lozano, Rivane & Sergio Neuenschwander, Wilfredo Prieto, Pascale Marthine Tayou and Adolf Wölfli.
Barely there, an exhibition in two parts, is curated by Luis Croquer, director and chief curator.
The show opens Thursday, May 26, but there is an opening party the following day that really got our attention. It features Rodriguez, an acid-folk-rocking singer-songwriter who’s been active since the late 1960s. His debut LP, Cold Fact, which charted in Australia and South Africa though he was little known at home, was recently re-released to critical acclaim. Rodriguez is joined by the Growlers, from Cosa Mesa, California.
Friday, May 27 at 8 p.m. Admission: $8. All ages welcome.
Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit is at 4454 Woodward Ave. in Detroit’s Midtown.
