Detroit, MI – Reyes Projects is pleased to announce two new group exhibitions opening on Saturday, February 3, 2018. Soft Focus, guest curated by New York-based gallerist Ellie Rines, will transform the lower level of the gallery with an array of structural artifacts.

For Soft FocusEllie Rines has tapped Alex Da Corte, Al Freeman, Nikita Gale, Mike Kelley, Ei Arakawa, and Amanda Ross-Ho. These six conceptual artists create unique soft structural works that are informed by their relationships to everyday objects and popular culture. Each speaks a radically different language of form, and the show aims to put these visual artifacts in dialogue — as a nod to the lifetimes that objects take on beyond the factory and artist’s studio.
