What do you think of when you hear Detroit brought up in conversation? I suspect for most folks visions teetering on the third world come to mind. Of late a great deal of focus has been placed on our city. Much of what is written and shown is done to support one agenda or another. Thomas Morton in a blog post (http://www.viceland.com/int/v16n8/htdocs/something-something-something-detroit) calls this fascination "ruin porn". His central theme is the media has an agenda to paint a very bleak picture of the city and journalist from around the world are scurrying about town and manipulating images to support this theme. He makes a powerful case. The sad truth is much of this reporting, while extreme, has a solid foundation. The situation in Detroit is nothing new and has been going on for 50 years. We happen to be at a tipping point where the abandonment of the city is particularly striking.
Morton is correct in scolding the journalist, though I don't think his argument applies to artists. Detroit offers people the opportunity to see many things. The journalist has an ethical obligation to report the facts, unvarnished. The artist is presenting a view, how they see the world. When I look at my home town I see many things- sadness, grit, strength. I see a city aging and- much like myself- not always gracefully. I see hope and despair. Mostly I see memories, almost all fond, of a life that is vanishing right before our eyes and there is nothing we can do about it. Not a thing. It is the vanishing world that makes my heart ache. Yes I can capture one shot that captures the despair and tilt my camera the other way and see Oz. These days I fear Oz is more the illusion.

My revolting photography washes up on to the shores of Vice land.. www.viceland.com/blogs/uk-photos/2010/12/27/its-those-stu...
booom
Vice Magazine asked 24 artists to do up some Wild Things. Check it out. Le, La who gives a shit! This little book is fucking RAD!! WTWTA VICELAND wherethewildthingsare.viceland.com/
I would kill (or fuck?) for credit taking this photo, or even being at this party. But i have neither. It came from www.viceland.com and if you haven't been there its definitely worth checking out; its like Rolling Stone if they were more honest about their drug habits. I'm fairly positive this was a fashion 'Do'.

This is an old but awesome article about the IRAK crew. Well, not so much about them, but about hanging with them. It was written by Bruce La Bruce, this crazy effing Canadian film maker. Enjoy

And read VICE. It's still awesome after all of these years.
