Detroit, Michigan 48202
Experimental. Thought provoking. Edgy. Loungy.
Get to the DIA Thursday, May 22nd, for the new late-night experience—the Marble Lounge.
From 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., boxers from Detroit’s famed Kronk gym duke it out and Mexican masked wrestlers, Revolucha, hit the mat in a ring taking center stage in Prentis Court. Ann Arbor’s The Bang! provides the backdrop with a dance party adventure mixing everything from rock’n’roll to ‘60s soul, from BritPop to HipHop.
This is a first for the museum, and the night’s entertainment is in conjunction with the special exhibitions Life’s Pleasures: The Ashcan Artists’ Brush with Leisure, 1895–1925 and Give it a Rest: People at Play in American Prints and Drawings, 1890–1945 (the latter will be open for viewing), each of which features classic images of the ring.
