THE STATE OF THE AGW W H AT I S I N S T O R E F O R T H E C I T Y ’ S N E G L E C T E D G A L L E RY

The Art Gallery of Windsor • photo stephen hargreaves

jay verspeelt LANCE WRITER______________________________

The fate of the Art Gallery of Windsor uncertain despite a city take-over and a failed

proposal for the downtown library to move in to the space.

After a year of discussion, on Jan. 4, the City of Windsor purchased the financially fledging AGW for $2.5 million. The City agreed to lease the building’s second and third floors to the gallery for free for the next 49 years. The first floor would be reserved for other City use.

The main branch of the Windsor Public Library was set to fill the main floor, but a museum may fill the space instead.

“With the discussion of putting in a museum, I don’t know where we’re going to put in a library,” said Ward 10 councilor and former library board chairman Al Magh-nieh. “At the last board meeting, we set a minimum of 40,000 square feet … 40,000-60,000 square feet is what we need to operate a library and there’s abso-lutely no room in the art gallery.”

The three-storey downtown library is 101,467 square feet; the total space of the art gallery is 77,500 square feet.

The first floor of the AGW has sat empty since the 2010 announce-ment that the library would move into the space, resulting in the gal-lery permanently closing its restau-rant and gift shop and cutting vital funding for the institution. Money became so tight that the gallery laid off 12 of its 17 employees last November.

Windsor Mayor Eddie Francis in the past has characterized the downtown library as being too big for its needs.

Helga Reidel, City of Windsor’s chief administrative officer, said that there has not been a decision

made to move the library into the gallery and there will still need to be more reports brought to city council before deciding whether to go ahead the proposal.

“I think the library would like to be in that corridor that’s being created with the university and the aquatic centre and the art gallery and potentially a museum, but they are having a challenge with the amount of space on the first floor,” said Reidel.

A report suggesting that a new museum be placed in the art gal-lery building will go to city council later this year. Reidel didn’t specify the type of museum sug-

gested in the report.

“Libraries no longer need miles and miles of shelving and huge buildings. Although our mandate is similar to the one we had 100 years ago, providing information and materials to the community, in 2013 we deliver It differently,” said library CEO Chris Woodrow.

Woodrow said using new technol-ogy such as eBooks and electronic databases can save the library a great deal of space, but he’s not anticipating any change until at least the spring.

Despite issues over the use of the main floor and a smaller operating space, AGW director Catherine Mastin is pleased about the sale of the building to the city.

“The financial situation was obvi-ously quite difficult for us, and so this gives us a fresh financial start,” said Mastin.

With the downsizing of the AGW, Mastin is looking forward to implementing a new operating model.

“It’s a smaller staff so we have fewer building issues to be responsible for now that we’re a lease tenant rather than a building owner,” said Mastin. “Our core staffing is focused on the delivery of the core functions of the gallery like the exhibition program, and the financial and administrative side of the gallery as well as focus-ing on our web and publishing program.”

Mastin plans on bringing back some of the laid off staff but wouldn’t say how many or when those individuals will be recalled for work.

No library layoffs are expected if the decision to move to the AGW is approved.

The financial

situation was obviously quite

difficult for us, and so this

gives us a fresh financial start‘‘CATHERINE MASTIN

Visitors confronted with Detroit’s blighted neighbourhoods may be quick to generalize the city as

abandoned and devoid of opportunity. But those working in creative industries are increasingly calling Detroit home.

“I think there’s no desert here as far as creative energies. There’s a lot of great art coming out of the city,” said Brandon Walley, a Detroit filmmaker.

Detroit Creative Corridor Center boasts that the city has the “highest concentra-tion of commercial and industrial design-ers of all U.S. metropolitan regions.” Jobs in the creative sector are expected to grow by nearly 12 per cent from 2010 to 2018, compared to overall employment at 7.6 per cent.

“It’s no secret we have tones of prob-lems. But what also comes along with it is really cheap real estate ... the prover-bial $500 house,” remarked Walley. “I don’t even look at what’s happening in Detroit as the scary G word of gentrifi-cation yet. The creative people who are coming in are filling in gaps and they bring fresh ideas, but they also stimulate the local base and economy.”

“There’s definitely resources here. There’s an attitude that’s very open and communal. ... But the cream rises to the top; you have to be good,” he laughed.

Walley says there are plenty of investors for creative projects, as well as technol-ogy and business incubators to provide resources to creative entrepreneurs. Below is a brief introduction to some of the many arts projects and organizations breathing new life into Detroit.

DETROIT CREATIVE CORRIDOR CENTER

A partnership between Business Lead-ers for Michigan and the College for

Creative Studies, Detroit Creative Cor-ridor Center is an economic development organization that connects and grows Detroit’s creative community. Located in the cultural hub of Midtown Detroit, the centre provides network-ing opportunities for artists through its annual Detroit Design Festival, Drinks X Design nights and CreativeMornings, a monthly breakfast lecture series.

DC3, as it’s known, aides entrepreneurs through its year-long Creative Ventures Program and runs a gallery to showcase the work of local artists. It has a research division, Creative Industries Academy, that’s charged with developing strate-gies to help other organizations tap and develop creative potential in the city.

THE IMAGINATION STATION

A group of dedicated Detroiters started this non-profit to clean blighted historic houses on Roosevelt Park beside the abandoned Michigan Central Station in the Corktown neighbourhood. The group’s campus consists of two aban-doned homes and three vacant lots, which are being transformed into public spaces for art and community events.

“Roosevelt Park historically has been a very important block and area and I think it’s coming back around now. We’re just trying to do creative things with that land,” said Walley, director of develop-ment for The Imagination Station.

The group’s most recent project was the creation of an 18-hole miniature golf course on their vacant land, created by students at Lawrence Tech University. The course will be free to the public when it’s completed in the spring.

“It’s kind of the first phase for this idea we’re kicking around for a Detroit coun-try club, where there will be other activi-ties you can do,” said Walley, adding it would include ping pong tables, micro brewed beer and food trucks.

“One of the big proponents for Imagina-tion Station is trying to be a support sys-tem to do things within the community that’s not necessarily on our campus.”For information: facethestation.com

POWER HOUSE PRODUCTIONS

In 2007, architect Gina Reichert and artist Mitch Cope founded Design 99, a retail design studio offering consultations and $99 house call specials. The duo purchased a foreclosed home for $1,900 in 2008. Two years later, the couple founded Power House Productions, a non-profit organization bringing art and culture to an east side neighbourhood.

The first house, Power House Project as it was called, soon lead to the pur-chase of eight other houses and three vacant lots within a four block radius. The houses are being renovated and the neighbourhood has welcomed interna-tional artists to do site specific installa-tions in the homes.

For information: powerhouseproduc-tions.org

CORKTOWN CINEMA

In 2009, four people opened an art house theatre in the Cass Corridor called Burton Theatre. But a dispute with the building’s landlord forced the team to close the doors on the theatre. Walley has now joined original members of Burton to relaunch the theatre as Corktown Cinema.

“There’s a building we are trying to purchase now in Corktown. It’s amazing, it’s like my dream building. It’s an old bank with art deco stone facade,” said Walley. “We really thought we’d have this building last October and we’re still going through some problems.”

He expects Corktown Cinema will open in a permanent location in spring 2014.

“I know we are going to reopen, we’ll have our own building and it’s going to

be even better than the Burton.”

DETROIT PROJECTION PROJECT

Walley and local artist Steve Coy head the Detroit Projection Project. The projections have also been shown on the nearby CPA building, in Corktown and off the Eastern Market.

“We would do these huge things like fill up the front of the whole train station ... in that case, we had two projectors on top of each other.”

Walley said they don’t own their own projection equipment, so each projection must be planned event. Both artists have been busy with other projects, but Walley hopes they can come together and pur-chase their own equipment to showcase visual projections in the future.

“The idea is to have it more of a continu-ous thing where people stumble upon something projected on a building in Detroit,” said Walley. “Instead of looking at an advertisement, you’re looking at some video art.”

For information: facebook.com/pages/Detroit-Projection-Proj-ect/79742388317

OMNICORPDETROIT

Located in Eastern Market, this hacker-space is comprised of designers, artists, engineers and musicians that enjoy building and collaborating on new ideas and projects. The membership-based group holds regular events and open hack nights twice a month.

“There are doing some really creative things, mostly technology ... it’s a really cool collective of like-minded artists and creative types,” said Walley.

It’s entirely possible that by the end of this year Windsor will be home to Canada’s largest comic book publisher.

Legacy Comics, the progeny of Windsor comic artist and writer Tony Grey, started out as a pub-lishing house for The Windsor Star newspaper strip The Incredible Conduit. It will be releasing three new products in February and as many as five by the end of the year.

The company was formed so that Grey could reissue the Conduit newspaper strips in a comic book format and distribute the books across the world to a much wider audience than the news-papers were reaching.

“We were only reaching so many people with the newspapers,” Grey said. “So the immedi-ate reason for forming the company was so that we could compile everything and have almost a digest of the comic strips. But, it’s evolved to a point where the comic and out-markets the comic strip.”

With the comic book selling well, Grey decided to take the publishing business to the next step.“We’ve expanded our line,” said Grey, who will showcase his products for the first time at a local comic writers signing Feb. 6 at Cartoon King-dom (2001 Provincial Rd.) starting at 4 p.m.

A more mature, international-feeling version of The Incredible Conduit will be among the new books, said Grey, who wants the character to appeal to a wider market. The Conduit will still have his roots in Windsor but he won’t be com-pletely localized as he appeared in The Windsor Star.

“It’ll be more of a generic place,” Grey said. “To the people of Windsor they’re still going to look at it and see all of the locations, the landmarks— Ambassador bridge, the University of Windsor, St. Clair College— all of these things will play a role. But it just won’t be as Windsor focused. It won’t be put so blatantly out there.”

Grey will also be releasing the first book of a new comic science fiction super hero called White Plastic as well as the first issue of the Feral One, a story written by Legacy Comics co-owner Daniele Palanca.

Grey promises that the signing at Cartoon King-dom will be a large one, showcasing Windsor’s surprisingly strong comic book talent.

David Finch, quite possibly the most famous and well regarded artist in comic books today, will be there to promote his work on the Justice League of America, and Dave Fabok will be re-leasing his first major book in Detective Comics, the series that DC comics was named for.Also present will be Johnny Desjardins, who is currently working on Vampirella for Dynamite Entertainment and was the illustrator for the Last Phantom Annual.

Further into the year, Grey hopes to open up the comic book market with a new series primarily for women. He’s also looking into new ways of distribution in order to keep the cost of his com-ics down to make them accessible and affordable to young kids.

OPEN HOUSE

PERHAPS SOMEWHERE“Somewhere, someplace and somehow, a fragile man saw right through me. His pale face and light eyes opened the walls of my soul. “What are we and how did us become this way?” she once asked him. The answer is not enough to exist. His silence had more power than the strongest of words; when he did speak she listened. Perhaps she was wrong, however, there are people who bring back what was missing. He brought it back, like a lost illusion, so far away and so hard to conclude; she missed him. Perhaps we hold on to memories as it is the only constant when everything else changes.”

She remembers being trapped when they met, trapped in a past lost to unattained thoughts. These thoughts were real to her, as she stood in front of him that evening so long ago. When she saw him from a far she knew, knew she would never deepen the wound of his abandoned soul. Perhaps she was not perfect, perhaps she saw the promise. Perhaps we dream a path that does not exist or perhaps the dream are moments we blinked away. Can a glance manifest into what an eternity needs to survive? Can we believe in the taste of that angelic kiss? Somewhere on our journey through life, we meet people who enchant a moment once created, dreams of reality, dreams to believe, believe in the prayer once whispered on the darkest of days. “As I search my mind for you,” she whispered, “I am lost. I saw you one night, we spoke, our words different; same message. The moment I heard that soft voice I knew that if you promised to not take too long, I would wait a lifetime for you. I was never ashamed, yet proud to walk beside your silent soul. You showed me love and I heard your pain as I laid against your chest. Pain is the rose on the inside that tears pedals away. I never truly realized the damage until we met and you spoke.” In that moment of silence she wondered, can we become who we never were? As the tears began to pour down his face, he knew that without her, he would walk to nowhere. As he wept, she spoke, “You’re my favourite man and perhaps I destroyed my existence.” He glared at her hazel eyes and thick hips. With a trembling voice he spoke. “You taught me otherwise. When you are the same, you have no common. What can we learn staring at ourselves? Is safe to be with like mind or is life about letting go of vanity. Misery has plagued my life until you. You have saved me, and perhaps as a child, you knew no innocence and now as a woman I am here to open your confessions.” Somewhere the night ended, somewhere she found him and he her, somewhere their lives drew a line to each other.

s PERSPECTIVE by JOSH BABOCK

DARKSmoked filled room, tired, dark eyes.Scary thoughts,whispering winds of death and life.Nothing changes, sorrow comes and goes as the cigarette burns, hearts swell, tears well up in those dark eyes of mine.

Pain is the same, same damn game, same shit different day, the clock ticks as sleep strikes.Embers burn bright, remembrance of those dark days, dark times, everything was dark in sight.Nightmares come, eyes afraid to close, air afraid to exhale, life scarred,limbs burn.

Hardship never ceases, stresses never quiet, love trapped to tight, skin stretched, rippling, marked all wrong.Lips speak truth, mind runs too rapidly, heart screams, soul dwindles where light can’t hit it.

Haters trudge on, yelling to “throw her in the fire,”drag her name through the mud, ears ring, as they speak hatred to thy name.Racing to the finish line, of life, to get away to walk away, faced with hurt feelings, concerned family, hurting friends, no words come, looks of despair blow with the winds.Lungs fill with confused air, wondering if they should fail,somehow stop, somehow they forgot to do their job.
