Congratulations to MOCA Detroit for receiving an Artistic Innovation and Collaboration (AIC) grant to support programming around Mike Kelley’s Mobile Homestead! Mobile Homestead, a full-sized replica of Kelley’s childhood suburban home in Detroit, is a cross between an installation and a community center. The grant will allow MOCAD to expand programming for the installation, which Kelley envisioned as a place that could hold a diverse group of community events and programs, as well as more “covert” activities in its basement that was originally intended to be private for his use. We’ve just announced the full list of 2013 AIC grantees and can’t wait to share updates about their projects in the coming months and years.

Mary Miss / City as a Living Laboratory’s project Broadway: 1,000 Steps, supported by the Rauschenberg Foundation’s AIC grant program, is an initiative to establish Broadway as the new “green corridor” of New York City. Twenty “hubs” dispersed along the length of Broadway will serve as sites for collaboration between Mary Miss Studio, research scientists, municipal policy makers, and local community groups. The central message of the project is that “nature is everywhere and in action at all times, that the city is an urban ecosystem, that an innumerable number of small decisions over time have shaped the environment to be the one we inhabit today, and that our decisions (behavioral choices) impact the future of all of nature.” Interested in learning more about Broadway: 1,000 Steps? The April issue of Art in America has a great feature on Mary Miss.
