Collection: In Case of Emergency: Refresh Feed

On November 15th, from 6 PM to 10 PM, join us at The Voyeur Bordello for an exciting art show titled In Case of Emergency, Refresh Feed featuring the provocative works of local Detroit artist Palm Treat. This exhibit promises to immerse art lovers and creative minds in a playful exploration of our digital realities through the lens of unconventional formatting, bold colors, and experimental typography.

Palm Treat’s artwork has been shown in Internationalimmersive environments like that of Meow Wolf in Santa Fe and the soft aesthetics of Lonely Kids Club down under in Australia. His new solo exhibition at The Voyeur Bordellois a vibrant response to what some refer to as the internet’' enshittification and the enigmatic Dead Internet Theory. This theory suggests that the online world has devolved into a landscape manipulated by bots and algorithmic curation, stifling genuine human connections. In light of this, Palm Treat harnesses inspiration from the Vaporwave movement and anti-design principles to create hauntingly nostalgic paintings that evoke questions about the nature of our digital memories: Are they real? Were they digitally implanted?

The Voyeur Bordello is a new and unique gallery, community space, and creative studio in Southwest Detroit dedicated to the production and promotion of art in an environment accessible to all, especially the all important working class. With a focus on tearing down the artificial barriers to entry in the art world, The Voyeur Bordello stands by working artists and the all important working communities that inspire and support them. It is founded by local photographer Nomadic Madam & artist Connery McDowell.
