Detroit Disassembled

(Damiani and the Akron Art Museum) In 72 color photographs, Moore explores the city of Detroit and its decline — from landscapes of windowless grand hotels and vast barren factory floors, to collapsing churches and city blocks claimed by prairie grass. He finds both dignity and tragedy in the city, once a center of boom-time industry, now in an incredible state of dilapidation. The photographs in Detroit Disassembled also will be featured in upcoming exhibits at New York’s Tamburan Gallery, opening March 15, and at Amsterdam’s Reflex Gallery and Atlanta’s Jackson Fine Art, both opening March 26. Moore, who has also published collections of photographs entitled Inside Havana and Russia, Beyond Utopia, is a lecturer in visual arts at Princeton. Levine is a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, two-time Guggenheim Fellowship recipient, and Detroit native.
