I don’t they (the artist) are going to come up with an answer to this depopulation trouble. But I am eager to see their work. But is depopulation really a problem any way? I like all the elbow room Detroit has to offer. We could be the first major city to return to farming. This would be useful to grow corn for us humans to eat, now that we will compete for it with our cars.

My understanding is that it is a two-part exhibit and that one part is at MOCAD and the other part at Cranbrook.

Bulletmagnet, I believe that question is at the heart of this exhibit.

De population (outpricing undesirables)let those massive housing projects that were designed to be close to bus lines downtown and far away from stable communities(almost done) empty out till they rot,close all the salvation army housing facilities in the cass cooridor(done)thats a loss of over 1000 people.those areas had to completly die,till there was no longer a threat, replacing them with condo an loft dwellers.this had to happen.
