Update #6: Lab For An Urban Future: Detroit, co-curated by Chloë Bass + Mitch McEwen, at the Queens Museum of Art this fall.
Dear Supporters,
DETROIT: A BROOKLYN CASE STUDY had a great run at Marygrove College. We were so glad to be able to bring the exhibit to Detroit proper, and we got a lot of great responses that will help shape our future research and initiatives there.
In an exciting update, this fall SUPERFRONT will present the Lab for Urban Futures: Detroit at the Queens Museum of Art. The Lab consists of a series of live events and rapid publications that invite guests from a range of disciplines to consider Detroit as a provocation for new investigations and experiments in urbanism. Co-produced by Chloë Bass and Mitch McEwen, the curators of SUPERFRONT's traveling exhibit DETROIT: A BROOKLYN CASE STUDY, the series focuses on the future of city development for a post-industrial age. From transformations in land use and waterfront activity to abandoned buildings and shifting residential populations, the post-industrial stage of capitalism has major long-term implications for American cities. Working with urban sociologists, independent media producers, food enthusiasts, agriculture activists, urban designers, architects and other urban strategists, the Lab invites the public to engage these locally-relevant issues through the lens of Detroit.
You can keep up with our events by visiting detroit.superfront.org. Email detroit@superfront.org to get involved.
We look forward to staying in touch with you! Thank you again for being a part of this. We couldn't have done it without you.
All best,
Chloë + Mitch

Update #3: To all Detroit: A Brooklyn Case Study supporters - THANK YOU
To all Detroit: A Brooklyn Case Study supporters:
Thanks to you, we have reached and *surpassed* our goal for Detroit: A Brooklyn Case Study with more than an hour remaining. (Phew!)
Thank you so very much for your support for this ongoing work of ours. We are leaving in a matter of hours to fly to LA to prepare the gallery, collect exhibit materials that have been shipped from around the country, and install this exhibit. We now have been in contact with two major contemporary exhibition institutions - one in New York City and one in Detroit. This opening at SUPERFRONT LA appears to be just the beginning. Your support is financing not only the launch of this exhibit, but also the construction of a jury-winning development proposal for the 25 square inch micro property that SUPERFRONT holds through LOVELAND, a Detroit experiment in micro real estate.
We look forward to keeping you updated on the SUPERFRONT Detroit projects that you have launched with your generous support.
THANK YOU.
Upwards,
Mitch + Chloë
PS. Additional funds above the $1500 request amount enable us to preprint catalogs to display and sell at the exhibit opening. Thank you!
Update #2: Info for backers only, not released to public: Catalog in production, major New York museum interested - your support starting something major for 2011 - Thank you!
