Like New York in the '70s, modern day Detroit is a street art paradise. Bombed out and underpoliced, the city itself is grist for graffiti artists and writers who flock from other cities and beyond. In this short film, Los Angeles artist REVOK introduces us to the newest creative community in the Motor City, touring the fantastic assemblages made from abandoned houses, and paying homage to the predecessors on the walls of the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. Where others see blight, these artists see a canvas.
