NWT Summer Residency
Artist Michael Bizon and Christian Tedeschi arrived to Detroit from LA in early June for their month long expedition of the Northwest Territories( 2 satellite spaces across the street from Popps). It's hard to put into words the work they accomplished, but lets just say they "kicked Ass!" Cleaning,reorganizing, pealing away sufaces.... ultimately transforming the crazy cluttered storefront and attached house into a thoughtful intricate web of interventions and installations.
It was a pleasure having them here.
The Residency House
Michael and Christian cast a concrete fence using materials found in the storefront spaces, a sort of time capsule.

Northwest Territories
Popps has expanded the Northwest Territories with the recent acquisition of this beautiful storefront and a small house across the street (thanks to the successful fundraiser this past fall).
Work begins on the storefront space.
Step one: remove crumbling brick work on the top half of the building.
Step two: clear out debris from inside
Step Three: make residency house livable
