The DIA hosts an outdoor performance by Stephen and Theodore Spyropoulos. The public is invited to send text messages to the artists, who through a digital interface rewrite them in light broadcast into clouds of smoke. Memory Cloud will continue Saturday and Sunday nights.
(The event is sponsored by the DIA, funded by the Dr. and Mrs. George Kamperman Fund and Friends of Modern and Contemporary Art, in cooperation with Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit and Kunsthalle Detroit.)
