Care of the City explores new ways of thinking about the philosophy and poetics of the late modern city, concentrating on contemporary Detroit. Through an exploration of new art practice, along with the development of urban gardening as a form for what Mary Caroline Richards called the renewal of art through architecture, this class will explore contemporary art in the city of Detroit as part of a developing ethics of care.
