“Mixed Signals: Artists Consider Masculinity in Sports” and ”Mark Newport: Superheroes in Action”
Both exhibitions run through March 29.

Cranbrook Art Museum

Mixed Signals focuses on artists from the mid-1990s to the present who question the notion of the male athlete in American culture during the preceding decades. Participating artists: Matthew Barney, Mark Bradford, Marcelino Goncalves, Lyle Ashton Harris, Brian Jungen, Kurt Kauper, Shaun El C. Leonardo, Kori Newkirk, Catherine Opie, Paul Pfeiffer, Marco Rios, Collier Schorr, Joe Sola, Sam Taylor-Wood, and Hank Willis Thomas.

Mark Newport: Superheroes In Action explores the innovative and engaging work of Mark Newport, Artist-in-Residence and Head of the Fiber Department at Cranbrook Academy of Art. Superheroes and comic book characters, both classic — Batman, Captain America, the Rawhide Kid, Hawkeye — and devised from Newport’s imagination — Argyleman, Sweaterman, Every-Any No-Man, Flamer — provide the subject matter for oversized knitted costumes.
