AUNTS X Detroit: detroit edition
AUNTS presents AUNTS X Detroit a performance series in both Detroit and NYC to provide opportunities for artists from each city to present their work, collaborate and engage in critical dialogue. Organized in the AUNTS style, artists negotiate the simultaneous presentation of their work in relationship to one another. In the resulting performance installation, audiences are free to move about the space, engaging with as many or as few of the performances as they like, creating their own experiences.
Fifteen artists/artist groups working in Detroit and NYC will participate in both events to result in two productions.
