Perched in the top floor of the five-story Kunst Werke Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin, artist Tris Vonna-Michell has rebuilt Detroit. Not in an architectural model (though there is a map), Vonna-Michell has rebuilt Detroit as a recording studio, a stage, and an installation. This Gesamtkunstwerk (“total work of art” in German) includes many different elements including the artist himself who will be on hand for much the exhibition, ready to perform at a moment's notice.
