Library Street Collective and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD) presented Unobstructed Views—a group exhibition at the historic W. Hawkins Ferry house. A modernist gem, the house was restored in 2015 with the owner’s original intention in mind—to showcase a vast art collection and views of Lake St. Clair. Unobstructed Views included a curated collection of over 30 groundbreaking contemporary artists. The home setting offered the opportunity for conversation about the original Hawkins Ferry House art collection, currently located in museums throughout the country.

Artists: Nina Chanel Abney, Derrick Adams, Brian Belott, Trudy Benson, Katherine Bernhardt, Sanford Biggers, Greg Bogin, Kendell Carter, Jack Craig, Greg Fadell, Beverly Fishman, James Benjamin Franklin, Sayre Gomez, Tyree Guyton, KAWS, Mike Kelley, Paul Kremer, Andrew Kuo, Sadie Laska, Austin Lee, Tiff Massey, Tony Matelli, Charles McGee, Josh Reames, Scott Reeder, Tyson Reeder, Jason REVOK, Carlos Rolón, Holton Rower, Adrianne Rubenstein, Chris Schanck, Willie Wayne Smith, Agathe Snow, Sheida Soleimani, Devin Troy Strother and Spencer Sweeney.
