Designing an Icon: Creativity and the American Automobile
Check out this show that will be opening this Friday at Wayne State University. Sounds like a good one to spend some time at while the snow begins to fall. If you can’t make it now, don’t worry. It will be running through the Detroit Auto Show so stop by after you see the new concept cars and compare how they have changed.
DESIGNING AN ICON consists of some 100 sketches and renderings from the top-secret studios of GM, Ford, and Chrysler, during the Musclecar Era (1960s-1970s). Some will be immediately recognizable as relating to production cars of the era, but many depict advanced concepts that never made it into production. Many sketches are beautiful in themselves and represent mediums and techniques that are no longer used in the computer-dominated field today. The exhibition will run from Nov 21, 2008 through Jan 16, 2009. Opening reception is 5pm-8pm Friday, Nov 21. The last week of the exhibition overlaps the preview week for the Detroit International Auto Show.
Gallery hours are 10am-6pm Tues-Thurs, 10am-7pm, Friday. (Closed Sat-Mon.)
