Yes, its so ON Greg Tate wow...this is my neighborhood. #newdetroit Galapagos helped put Williamsburg on the art map when it opened there in 1995 as a bar and performance venue..Although the last night of programming is likely to be Dec. 18, the center will have a second life — more than 600 miles away, in Detroit. Over the past year, Mr. Elmes and his wife, Philippa Kaye, have bought nine buildings totaling about 600,000 square feet in that city’s Corktown neighborhood and in neighboring Highland Park, paying what he described as the price of “a small apartment in New York City” for the properties. Among the buildings is “an old power plant that looks like a little Tate Modern,” Mr. Elmes said. The centerpiece of the new Galapagos will be a 10,000-square-foot lake…. Mr. Elmes said, adding that Galapagos is planning to start a Detroit Biennial in 2016. nytimes/2014/12/08/arts/galapagos-art-space-will-make-detroit-its-home.html?ref=arts
