Charity preview ticket and auction sales will support the building of bikes racks in Detroit, in addition to the CAID community bikes project. The CAID Bikes projects is run by Nic Tobier (from Everydayplaces / University of Michigan), and supports youths building customized bicycles for entrepreneurial purposes such as bamboo bicycle trailers, utility tricycles for recycling business and a landscape/gardening vehicle. Curated by Spread Art, the 2013 Anti-Auto show visual art exhibition showcases works in a variety of mediums that probe beneath the glitz and glamour of Detroit’s annual Auto Show to examine the many facets of car culture. The Anti-Auto show aims to explore and showcase alternative modes of transportation for a society addicted to an ever-increasingly depleted energy source: oil. The exhibition will feature the work of local and international artists, inventors, innovators, architects, designers, and others. Among them:
Jen Boyak (Detroit); Geworge Brock
(New York); Heather Garland (New York); Erin Patridge, MA, ATR (Georgia); Mavis
Farr (Detroit); Vito Valdez (Detroit); Assocreation (Ann Arbor/Austria); Tracy
Lovell (Missouri); Mich McEwan (New York/Germany); Chloe Bass (New York/Germany)
and Amir Husak (New York).
