The Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit has more than twenty thousand square feet of exhibition space, and Joshua White and Gary Panter have taken over all of it. Don’t be misled by their rather nondescript names – these guys are legends.

So this show here, simply called “Joshua White and Gary Panter’s Light Show”, is not to, ahem, be taken lightly. (Geddit?) (FULL ARTICLE: Alanna Martinez, Blouin ARTINFO)
