The opening day of the U.S. Pavilion was a moment of gratification and clarity. The countless hours of work from the Curators and Staff were greeted by thousand of visitors from around the world.
The exhibition rooms were full of guests who were actively engaged in asking curators, exhibitors, and fellows questions about the work and thoughts on the post-industrial city. In conversation with guests, many characteristics of the city of Detroit brought back memories of qualities and concerns from many of the guests respective home.
Experiencing the people and energy during the Venice Biennale Vernissage was opportunity to see the exhibition we had been working on for the past number of weeks with a new set of eyes. The following are a few images from the opening day.
