Metro Times steps into our upcoming exhibitions
6 September 2024
“In an old boathouse on Detroit’s east side, I.M. Weiss Gallery director Isabelle Weiss is putting the finishing touches on her latest show. Titled Until… and opening on Friday, the exhibition features 2023 Kresge Arts in Detroit Fellow Lauren Kalman, who has presented otherwise meticulous black ceramic pottery intentionally warped with dents, handprints, and other imperfections. The works are displayed on small tables under track lighting in the middle of the boathouse, with some clustered together, as if fitting together like a puzzle.”

Seen discusses the up-and- coming Little Village of Detroit
19 July 2024
“As a ’90s kid who grew up touring galleries, participating in artist walks, and visiting the Detroit Institute of Arts with a sketchbook in hand, Weiss feels an attachment to the downtown art scene. So, Little Village seems like the perfect spot for her gallery to land. The mission alignment with Little Village isn’t something that could have been planned, Weiss says.
‘It's going to be a really beautiful fabric here of different brick and mortar businesses all doing something different but really wanting to support each other, wanting to support small businesses, independent labels, or nonprofits, wanting to support people just doing productive and beautiful things,’ she says.”
