Under
the direction of Founder and artist Simone DeSousa, Re:View Contemporary
is the expression of a group of collaborators who seek to foster
creativity in various media including visual arts, design, and writing.
Re:View Contemporary Gallery's physical space has two components:
an Exhibitions Gallery,
focusing on one-person and two-person exhibits by accomplished local
and national artists; and a Commercial
Gallery and Design Store, showcasing a collection of
quality works by different artists and designers, with new works
introduced on a weekly basis.
In its function as a gallery, Re:View Contemporary exhibits a comprehensive
range of contemporary art and design, while upholding a deep commitment
to quality. The gallery environment itself is populated by design
elements especially created for the space by Detroit-based artists
and designers.
Exhibiting artists have an opportunity to discuss their work through
gallery talks and interviews by Re:View's writer. Re:View's Web
site and blog are extensions of the physical gallery spaces, offering
a forum for ongoing discussion of the works exhibited in the gallery,
arts and cultural events in the community and more.
Utilizing the web to extend Re:View's presence and impact invites
others to think again about the art presented in the gallery and
in our community and to review their own relationship with the art
that surrounds.
In its multi layered approach, Re:View seeks to not only be a space
to host quality contemporary art exhibits, but also to foster the
social dialogue inspired by the arts and to challenge the community
to think again—about
art, about Detroit, about what inspires us.
