Detroit Little Libraries Founder Kim Kozlowski in Conversation with the Artists
Saturday, January 23
This Art as Social Force talk took place with Detroit Little Libraries founder Kim Kozlowski in conversation with several of the the artists. The artists speak about the inspiration that goes into transforming the little free libraries into works of art. The goal of Detroit Little Libraries is to bring their unique artist designed libraries to neighborhoods in Detroit that, with no public library or bookstore, are in critical need of reading materials.

Detroit Little Libraries presents an exhibition in Mike Kelley's Mobile Homestead during MOCAD's winter 2016 season.

Inspired by Mike Kelley's Mobile Homestead and the People's Biennial, MOCAD embarks on a multi-year examination of artists who seek to establish participatory and socially transformative art. Known primarily as social practice, its practitioners freely blur the lines among object making, performance, political activism, community organizing, environmentalism, and investigative journalism, creating a deeply participatory art that often flourishes outside the gallery and museum system.
