RECLAMATION at the Imagination Station


Paint A Burnt House from Imagination Station on Vimeo.



In preparation for the Big Inch Block Party this Saturday in Detroit, Queen MAB has again worked her magic.

Artist Marianne Audrey Burrows first blew my mind when she showed up at the Imagination Age Salon with the Loveland crew. She'd never been to NYC before and she wanted--needed--to paint. Watch the video and see for yourself what she did to the garage.

Queen MAB paints energy. In RECLAMATION at the Imagination Station in Detroit, she owns that place, even though it's about to be torn down within days.

The above video, beautifully shot by Stephen McGee, captures Marianne's magnificent willingness to spend so much intense effort (with cracked ribs, by the way) to create beauty in a house that has experienced "death due to incomplete arson."

If you want to know more about Loveland, click here or watch my recent presentation.

Thank you Jerry, Mary Lorene, Alan, Larry, Josh, Marianne and everyone who works so hard to make Loveland one of the most amazing projects happening on planet earth right now.

And please consider supporting public art in Detroit, starting with Monumental Kitty.
