Twelve Prints Somerset Mall
TWELVE PRINTS
Somerset Mall
Twelve Printmakers, an invita-
tional showing of 11 artists from
the Detroit/ Ann Arbor area and
one New Yorker, is definitely
worth the attention it's getting
right now from the shoppers at
Troy's Somerset Mali, where it
warms the cool scenery until Oct-
ober 2.
D. K. Semivan, a director at
Detroit's Artist Market, has done
a nice thing, Florida Swannery,
with a blank state map with what
looks like huge multicolored sets
of crossed legs suspended like
hooks in the smokehouse.
Jim Nawara, a WSU professor,
is into Bedrock - little detailed hunks
of weathered rock that pro-
bably even make the geology boys
happy.
Now, my favorite was Ox Box
III by Center for Creative Studies'
Aris Koutroulis. It looks
like the scum that 's left in a pot
of water after you've boiled pota-
toes in it the day before.
Stanley Rosenthal has a whole
series of prints with lots of
strange figures, like the visions of
a deranged gramma. Autumn is
set in some grotesquely ultra-
real hunters' lodge - what's missing,
though, is talk balloons.
Keiko Hara's designs are nice.
Frank Cassara got little faces in
relief that all look like mini Aga-
mmenon death masks, for what
t's worth.
Anyway, twelve better artists
haven't gotten together since the
Last Supper. We must wait to see
who hangs himself.
Twelve Printmakers continues
inside Somerset Mali, Big Beaver
Road at Coolidge, Thursday &
Friday 10-9, other days from
10-6. The exhibit itself is without charge.
