Mae West: Pontiac, Michigan

MAE WEST pops up this week in Pontiac. That is "a city in Michigan" — — not the vehicle.
• • The Museum of New Art (MONA) in Pontiac has made space for eighteen talented art students from Oakland University. It is hoped that the exhibition "New Kids on the Block" will be more exciting that the lame name chosen by curator Candace O'Leary, an Oakland senior who happens to be the assistant director of MONA.
• • [If you've ever read those dreadful squibs known as (ahem!) "The Artist's Statement," you know this crew is better off wielding a brush not a fountain pen.]
• • Describing the FREE exhibition for The Detroit News, Michael H. Hodges writes: "Also worth a peek is Thomas Rowland's Mae West video that lightly mocks the art-gallery experience. The image of Mae West never changes — — but beneath it appear constantly changing captions with contradictory, interpretations."
• • "New Kids on the Block" will not over-stay its welcome, so get to the Museum of New Art [7 N. Saginaw St., Pontiac, Michigan; Tel: 248-210-7560] this week.
