The Opening Reception	The Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit and detroit contemporary present: LINK The Exhibition LINK, the exhibition, will take place from November 9 through December 22, 2002, with an opening reception on Saturday November 9 from 6pm-10pm. The exhibit, which features 23 Detroit-based artists, will attempt to link the contemporary visual, musical and performing arts practiced in Detroit. Participating artists were invited to create each work of art under this theme of link with works ranging in genre, size, style and material and with performing artists crossing genres into the realm of fine art and side-projects. We believe that the culmination of this work will act as a dynamic representation of Detroit's contemporary arts, as well as serving as a link throughout the area's arts communities. Participating Artists Kyohei Abe, Jeffrey Abt, AWOL, Davin Brainard, Matt Breneau, Sandra Cardew, Ian R. Clark, Sue Carman-Vian, Mark Dancey, Warn Defever, Rose E. DeSloover, Matt Gordon, Maurice Greenia Jr., Anne Harrington-Hughes, Jeremy Kallio, Hillary Kantman, Audra Kubat, Charles McGee, Sherry Moore, Michael Mikolowski, Michael Segal, Nelson Smith and VIKI.
