DLECTRICITY

September 27 2014 | 7:00pm to September 28 2014 | 11:55pm

After a successful debut in October 2012, DLECTRICITY, presented by DTE Energy, is Detroit’s newest nighttime festival of art and light happening September 26–27 in Midtown Detroit.

All are invited to experience this free, two-night festival produced by Midtown Detroit, Inc. (MDI). Inspired by nighttime arts festivals from around the world, DLECTRICITY will commission and host 35 local, national and international artists whose installations will illuminate the Midtown Woodward corridor, from the Detroit Institute of Arts to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra with cutting edge installations of light, video, performance, interactive engineering and other unexpected works of art. 

DLECTRICITY attracted 75,000 people to Midtown in 2012, and it will once again transform the iconic Midtown Detroit neighborhood into a spectacular nighttime environment of temporary public art and light, showcasing site-specific installations by established and emerging artists and Detroit’s ever-growing class of creative entrepreneurs and design professionals. 

Of the 35+ artists, 10 local, national and international artists have been invited to show a range of high-quality, light-based projects and video projections. 

Sue De Beer’s installation “Detroit’s Leland City Club” will be shown at the Detroit Historical Museum’s Legends Plaza. A New York-based contemporary artist, De Beer uses multiple media including photography, video, installation and sculpture to explore the relationships between time and memory. Her work has been the subject of several major solo exhibitions throughout the world.
