[In The D] Forth From It’s Hinges

Posted on July 28th, 2010

With the Ann Arbor Art Fair(s) becoming more and more like an Arts-n-Crafts bizzare, a group of local Ann Arbor creatives look to bring a younger art crowd back into the city. Hello, Forth From It’s Hinges.

Opening this Thursday, Forth From Its Hinges (FFIH) is a annual series that features progressive, local art and music and is housed inside of an industrial warehouse on Ann Arbor’s south side. The afternoons at FFIH find groups of young creatives browsing through art pieces from some of the best local artists. The nights host a fair amount of entertainment, including poetry readings, DJ’s and musical artists (some from Ann Arbor’s, Ghostly International).

From the FFIH Facebook:
FFIH focus this year is on the collaborative and creative curation of the area’s most expressive emerging artists. The site-based production offers artists and audiences alike the opportunity to experience large-scale installations and experimental performances that transcend the usual and explore the unknown–this is not a gallery, club, concert hall, or street fair. The young FFIH curators aim to expose and expand their own community of unseen talent by producing a series that is free from expectation, free from censorship, free from tradition, and free of charge.

Forth From It’s Hinges opens July 29th and runs through August 1st.
