It is sobering to know that nothing ever lasts or at least in the same form. The photographs of Detroit by Andrew Moore are witness to a dying city and culture. Both music and cars have moved on to some other pasture, leaving crumbling buildings and people who have no where to go.

There are movies being made in Detroit now in part I am sure because it is a facade, a Hollywood lot out on location.

The Akron Art Museum will exhibiting “Detroit Disassembled: Photographs by Andrew Moore  June 5, 2010 – October 10, 2010 ” an accounting of pre-transformation as we can be certain that Detroit and others cities like them will create a new identity and new industry  before long.
