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.
