AmericaJR’s Jerome and Gloria Rzucidlo recently visited The Detroit Institute of Arts to check out their new exhibit, “Tiff Massey: 7 Mile + Livernois”. Tiff Massey creates installations, public art, and wearable sculptures inspired by adornment. Trained as a metalsmith, Massey scales up her jewelry to the size of architecture, creating sculptures that celebrate Detroit’s evolving neighborhoods and the history of West African and Black American culture and style. 7 Mile + Livernois is Massey’s most ambitious museum installation to date, featuring new sculptures commissioned by the DIA in conversation with works by several other artists from the museum’s collection. Massey’s work reimagines art’s role in the community and offers a vibrant, inclusive view of Detroit. Her art invites us all to celebrate our collective identity, ancestral flyness, and beauty.
The DIA is located at: 5200 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48202. Closed on Mondays.
“7 Mile + Livernois” continues through May 11, 2025. For more info, go to: https://dia.org/events/exhibitions/tiff-massey.
