The following evening, Thursday, November 7, the benefit gala dinner honors artist James Turrell along with artist Christopher Wool, whose retrospective is on view at the museum from October 25, 2013, through January 22, 2014.
Hawtin’s seminal role in shaping Detroit’s electronic dance scene established his international status as a legend in the field. He is the master behind acclaimed techno imprints Plus8 and Minus, and is also known for his persona Plastikman; as Plastikman, he took the 1990s techno world by storm with a series of minimalist albums that attracted interest from leading festivals around the world.
