Opening Friday, May 17th at Inner State Gallery

Inner State Gallery will open May 17th with artist Glenn Barr’s first Detroit solo show in nearly four years, aptly titled “Rooms”. The debut show in the recently renovated 1800 square foot gallery at 1410 Gratiot in Detroit’s Eastern Market marks the beginning of a new chapter for the creative collective grown out of 323East in Royal Oak.

"Rooms is an exhibition of scenarios inspired by a lethargic Detroit. Images of wandering bars & bohemian escapists, electric streets & closing time, space gear & boas, all the while unaffected muses look down from on high,” Barr said about his latest work from his studio space in Corktown. The show will feature a collection of smaller intimate works, large paintings,  and a limited offering of rare sold out prints from the archives of Glenn Barr and 1xRUN.

To coincide with this exhibition, Barr and Inner State Gallery have also teamed up to create two limited edition print sets titled “Detroit Rooms”.  Each set will have six - 8 x 8 inch prints signed by the artist in a special two-sleeve embossed letterpress folio printed by Bryan Baker’s Stukenborg Press, located in Corktown’s Poneyride complex. Each set is limited to 100 and will be available at the opening and online at 1xRUN.com. More details coming soon...
