I thought I saw an El Camino. I Did. I saw an El Camino.
ANN ARBOR—Visitors to the University of Michigan’s Jean Paul Slusser Gallery at the School of Art and Design will be able to see more than 450 El Camino sightings, plus a 20-foot scroll illustrating Mike Rogers’ theory of the vehicle’s evolution and designs for a 1999 model should the El Camino make a comeback.
“El Caminoville” will open Oct. 29 and continue through Nov. 30 incorporating photographs, sculpture and video in a project artist Mike Rogers says mixes fantasy and fact.
A New York City native, Rogers began a career in journalism, serving as a reporter and associate editor with both Fortune magazine and the Los Angeles Herald Examiner before receiving a master of fine arts degree in 1966 from the Otis College of Art and Design.
The Slusser Gallery, located on U-M’s North Campus in the Art and Architecture Building on Bonisteel Avenue, is open every day, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Admission is free.
