Project Beehive

Movement Electronic Music Festival Powered by Ford Fiesta will feature the work of several Detroit-based artists who were invited to create provocative, site-specific installations for this year’s festival.  Artists were encouraged to incorporate “found” and recycled materials into the sculptures and created “figurative” beehive installations.

The total number of artists leading the projects was 7 and their disciplines range from painters and sculptors, to builders and potters.  In some of the projects festival-goers will see intricate hand-made weavings out of mesh and fabric, while others have been technically composed with wood and Paper Mache.

Notably, among the core group, Vanessa Miller and Kate Daughdrilll led the teams of artists and other interdisciplinary thinkers.  Together, the group created one large-scale beehive sculpture to serve as gathering space for conversation during the festival.  Their beehive sculptures are 12-feet in diameter and filled with comfortable seating structures, a conference table, and a small library of books about Detroit.

The collaborative team hopes that the intimate yet thought-provoking qualities of the sculptural environment create a space for reflection and informal conversation about the history, present experience, and trajectory of Detroit. They are interested in facilitating and engaging in conversations about the cultural, social, and economic conditions of the city that embody the present vitality and urgency of living in this city as this particular time.

The concept, proposed by artist Kate Daughdrill, references the collaborative, community-based production that occurs within a hive. Historically, beehives have been associated with industry, diverse cooperation, and fierce resourcefulness. Honey, a swarm’s primary creative product, has historically referenced the restoration of health and a yearning for sweetness. Each artist led a team in creating an installation that references the beehive in its physical composition, material usage, symbolic references, and/or creative, production process.

The installations at this year’s festival are united by the conceptual exploration of the beehive as well as by a strong materiality, laborious yet energetic working processes, and innovative approaches to the use of everyday, found materials. These common characteristics highlight the visionary resourcefulness, strong work ethic, and collaborative, community-based nature of many of the visual artists working in Detroit.

Movement-The Anniversary

Movement Electronic Music Festival Powered by Ford Fiesta will jump off on Saturday, May 29 and run through Monday, May 31, 2010.

Fans of the eclectic musical genre have traveled to Detroit every Memorial Day Weekend since 2000 to experience electronic dance music in the city where techno music was created.  In 2009 the Movement Electronic Music Festival recorded its best attendance figures to date since becoming a ticketed event in 2005.  Some 83,322 people filled the outdoor venue last year.  An international partnership was also forged with promoters from Torino Italy to create Movement Torino.

“We are pleased to be partnering with Ford Motor Company for the 10^th anniversary of the festival,” said Jason Huvaere, Executive Director of Movement Electronic Music Festival Powered by Ford Fiesta. “It is important to our team to find brands to support the festival that really understand and respect the audience that attends Movement; and we think Ford is that type of sponsor.”

The all-new Ford Fiesta features an expressive, vibrant design, sharp reflexes, and a global track record that will redefine U.S. small car customers’ expectations. With 15 class-exclusive technologies and a projected best-in-class highway fuel economy of 40 mpg, Fiesta brings efficiency and convenience together in one package.

Fiesta is designed to be versatile, personal and adaptable. In fact, Fiesta is expected to deliver best-in-class convenience and connectivity with Ford’s segment-exclusive SYNC® voice-activated communications system, as well as an expressive color palette and available graphics.
