Opening Saturday, 12-12-09

"Circus Mobius" @ LIFT will feature new works by Detroit-based pop surreal artists Marc Nischan and Audrey Pongracz. The exhibit will include paintings, toy art and limited edition prints. Join us at the opening reception on Saturday, December 12 2009 from 7 to 11 PM. In addition to art, the opening will feature circus-themed food, live entertainment, raffles and other surprises.

Audrey Pongracz was born and raised in Detroit. Since an early age, Audrey has learned by studying the works of her favorite artists, both contemporary and historical. Many of her inspirations come from 17th and 18th century European art. Audrey's artwork has been featured on the cover of Real Detroit Weekly and the Metro Times. She was recently voted "Best Local Artist" by the readers of Real Detroit and named by the Metro Times as one of Detroit's top six artists under 30.

Marc Nischan has been performing at a high level in both art and music for the past two decades. Marc attended the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, graduating with a BFA in Illustration. But music came earlier in his life as Marc began playing guitar at the age of 14. He has performed with dozens of bands, probably best known as guitarist for The Twistin' Tarantulas and currently a member of The Lincolns UK. Marc's interest in art sprung from the need to design band posters and paraphernalia. Marc is also an enthusiastic hot rod builder and driver.
