“Park in Art”

This 10-story gallery-garage displays

the work of 26 international artists

commissioned by Dan Gilbert, owner

of Bedrock Real Estate, working with

Library Street Collective.

Library Street Collective, located next to

The Z, commissioned artists from around

the world to participate, including:

- Detroit-based, REVOK

- Saner (Mexico City, Mexico)

- HOWNOSM (San Sebastian, Spain)

- Dabs & Myla (Melbourne, Australia)

- Hense (Atlanta, USA)

- Tristan Eaton (Los Angeles, USA)

- SMASH137 (Basel, Switzerland)

- Interesni Kazki (Kiev, Ukraine)

“The Z” could have been just another

utilitarian design in a city that needs new

infrastructure. But Dan Gilbert choose to

make the most of this opportunity to

reinforce Detroit’s image as a fascinating,

optimistic, human place. Also this venture

sends the message that creative

approaches are welcome here.

“The project pretty much encapsulates

the building that we’re in,” Anthony Curis

of the Library Street Collective has said.

“It’s a very non-traditional space, but

Detroit is a very non-traditional city.”
