Learn about the artists selected for participation in Collecting x Design, which will run in conjunction with Detroit Month of Design and is a collaboration with NEXT:SPACE Detroit and Airea Inc.

This summer, Hamtramckan Chris Schneider and myself explored several midwestern states, to photograph the small towns and rural landscapes of the often-overlooked American heartland. Partially funded by a grant from Detroit’s Red Bull House of Art, we visited eight states, and stopped in over 50 towns.

Follow along with Roy Feldman and Chris Schneider as they go on a photographic exploration of the Midwest and Plains States. They will be posting Polaroid photographs taken along the way on our Instagram account. Search the hashtag #RibbonofHighway to view them all.

Roy Feldman is a Hamtramck photographer with a hefty resume.

Forty Years in the business have certainly taught him a thing or three about his chosen craft.

Last month, his newest exhibit, titled “Truth & Grace,” was on display at the M Contemporayr Art gallery in Ferndale. The exhibit features many Hamtramck residents as subjects.

A conversation with Roy Feldman around his current practice and activities during the Covid-19 pandemic. Feldman’s solo exhibition “Truth & Grace in Hamtramck” opened, or was slated to open, on March 20, 2020, but the opening was canceled amidst the Governor’s order that Michiganders stay-at-home. The exhibition was hung as scheduled.

Truth & Grace in Hamtramck was in the planning for a year and scheduled to open on March 20, 2020, at the M Contemporary Art in Ferndale, but the state order to “Stay at Home” by Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan made those plans impossible. As a result, I asked the gallery owner, Melannie Chard, to allow me to view the images online and proceed with a review. I had viewed Feldman’s photographs over the years and seen several images in person, which gave me enough perspective to proceed in this peculiar and highly unusual endeavor: write a review from art viewed online.
