Detroit-based artist Anders Ruhwald's exhibition, "Unit 1: 3583 Dubois," is on view at MOCA Cleveland. The show, a contemplation about Detroit and place, presents several life-sized rooms and corridors based on a permanent installation that Ruhwald is creating in one apartment of this building, which the artist bought in 2014 and is restoring.
Ruhwald is converting the rooms in Unit 1 into abstracted spaces using materials from the building and neighborhood along with his signature ceramic works.

In the past decade, Ruhwald has had more than 20 solo exhibitions at museums and galleries around the world including Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (United Kingdom), The Museum of Art and Design (Denmark), the Saarinen House (Detroit). His work has been featured in more than 80 group exhibitions at venues including Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco), Fondation d’entreprise Richard (Paris), Pinakotek der Moderne (Munich), Taipei Yingge Museum (Taiwan), and Kunsthal Charlottenborg (Copenhagen). His work is represented in over 20 public museum collections including The Victoria and Albert Museum (UK), Denver Art Museum, Detroit Institute of Art, Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Paris), The National Museum (Sweden), The Museum of Art and Design (Denmark), and Taipei Yingge Museum (Taiwan). In 2011, he was awarded the Gold Prize at the Icheon International Biennial in South Korea. He also received a Danish Art Foundation three-year work-stipend in 2010 and the Sotheby’s Prize (UK) at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2007.
