New limited edition art books by photographer Roy Feldman.

Brian Day’s new photo book is published by Peanut Press.

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.

“Black is joy and pain.” – Brian Day, Detroit

We’re pleased to share that Brian Day’s work has been selected for inclusion in the Harvard Graduate School of Design’s initiative, Future of the American City.

For his latest solo exhibition, Detroit photographer Kenny Karpov took to the Mediterranean Sea for a closer look at Europe's refugee crisis.

Many of the photos show Black bodies packed onto ship decks, calling to mind a modern-day slave ship. What gets lost in the mainstream media narrative of the refugees, Karpov believes, is that any of the African and Middle Eastern refugees are in fact fleeing the horrors of modern-day slavery, human trafficking, famine, and war.

Looking through his lens, photographer Kenny Karpov tries to capture who people truly are — their expressions, their bodies and the light in their eyes. His emotional portraits, paired with written work, tell their stories.

In Karpov’s latest project, the book “Despite It All We Never Learn,” he tells the stories of refugees, the real people going through travails on a journey toward better and safer lives.

M Contemporary Art was a part of Detroit Art Week from July 16 - July 21, 2019 with a lineup of events including the opening of Brian Day’s “A Moment Away,” a collection visit at the Burris Law offices, and studio tours with Senghor Reid, Scott Vincent Campbell and Robert Mirek.
