People ask me why I thought Idiocracy was the scariest documentary I'd ever seen. Because, I don't want to believe we're this stupid. But I do.

Phelps Lounge Music Festival A Bittersweet Victory In the summer of 2026, Detroit's NorthEnd adds another wonderful music festival to our calendar. Phelps Lounge Music Festival Brought to you by Detroit Musix Details to come

See Anya, I warned you You are not a master builder and we were not your laboratory and You didn't bring your 'A' Game! You didn't do your homework: starting with Bobby Kennedy visited the North End and John Lee Hooker played at the Apex. You bad mouthed the Great Hall of the People. You don't know the people I've catered to and you really don't care about the people I serve. And you never understood the people that have spent time in my living room. You left us to babysit your *Furniture to decorate his parties and photo ops. We were never his Observatoire ou Bureau de l'urbanité émergente. And the space capsule never levitated Yes, Detroit community leaders have pimped art funders with underhand softball main gauche slider pitches for petty pools of cash like an eighties Janet song longer than you've been on this continent. Yes! You got the people I've worked with and for paid to come to the block and do what they do everywhere else in the world. But you're a talented decorator Your children and your colleges learned and your students developed practices of their own, have become valued members of our communities, and have provided beneficial change to our neighborhoods I don't know if you've noticed, but many of them are short and myopic women, they're focus is, was and always will be sustaining the geography for the next stretch of… Wha'cha got now? I gotta lotta people now. Hard for a guy my height to stand straight up under their ceilings. But, your behaviour was typical of everyone in your ilk that has sought to install themselves and impose their artistic expression on the Oakland Avenue Art Corridor and it's community of neighborhoods. And your article is typical of an individual coming to the block to make a mark for themselves with the least actual investment in the geography humanly possible. I mean honestly, who really wants to leave their creative legacy there? With those people and that pompous old Russian bear the Great Hall of the People of his Potemkin village, and his difficult negro Goy, that wants to build a basilica out of trash, always reminding you that Fractals are a functional African aesthetic I know your process is toxic. But you might teach it. "I'm your missing puzzle piece. I'm your "Why?" I love you jessica NOT YOUR EXE, Sis. Yes. I'm a horrible example of a Black Man who says, "I'm a horrible Christian." I'm the President of the haters club. We don't hate people. But things they do can be ridiculous. We clean up after the parties and we talk about what we find. Carnival art is architecture, props can be art. But compromising your craft, so that you could make party art to make some money, because your can write is an okay hustle. But, unless you design things to be taken down and reused. It's just bad party art. It ain't architecture or urban design. And it's a really week social statement. The people who wanted to work with you inside those timelines have gone on to complete more permanent projects in their guidelines and timeline. Some of those projects are in the North end. Others projects are ongoing and have expanded into growing inwardly focus business hubs and international destinations The people representing the communities you worked in believed your abilities and connections would have produced something better than the shiny things you left behind and they held you to expectations outside your best abilities. That's typical of them. Those same people are so reductive in terms of what they're own communities of creative crafters are allowed to express that the results are rarely worth a signature, let alone space in a portfolio. Everybody else gotta be paid before they go on or at the end of the night. Long ago , he told me himself, "I just want to take good pictures and be paid." He'd have to pay me to say his name. He often left things in worse condition that he found them. Thank you for explaining why you did what you did. Let me know if you'd like to bring your talents and abilities to the table https://www.e-flux.com/architecture/the-gift/595935/contradictions-of-a-benevolent-city/
