CALABASAS, Calif. (AP) - A rare piece of movie memorabilia from Prince's 1984 classic film "Purple Rain" is hitting the auction block.
Prince donned the black-and-white blazer with leather sleeves while riding a motorcycle with co-star Apollonia Kotero.
"It's definitely the most important piece of screen-worn Prince clothing that's ever come up for auction," said Joe Maddalena, president of the Calabasas, California-based auction house, Profiles in History. "This is a signature piece of wardrobe worn from an iconic movie in his most famous role."
The coat is a unique find from the typically reclusive artist, who was found dead last week at his Paisley Park complex just outside of Minneapolis.

"Prince memorabilia in general, it just really doesn't exist. It seems like he controlled it all," Maddalena said. "This is the first time ever for something like this, and it might be the only time because the rest of the costumes may be in his (personal) wardrobe."
The original seller said her sister, a makeup artist, received the piece from Prince after they worked together on "Purple Rain."
The June 29th auction will also include costumes from Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Alicia Keys and a Swarovski crystal studded glove from Michael Jackson's 1992 "Dangerous" world tour.
Maddalena said he believes the "Purple Rain" blazer will be the "star of the show" and expects it to sell for much more than the asking price, $6,000 to $8,000.
"Hopefully it will reach a price that is equivalent to his stature as a musician," he said.

Delta’s Launching Premium Economy With The A350


a350 featured
Late last year, American Airlines announced that it would be rolling out a dedicated premium economy product on its wide-body planes, starting with the 787-900 Dreamliner later this year. The airline’s premium economy is expected to feature wider seats with leg rests, improved meal service and amenity kits on long-haul flights. Frequent flyers were immediately concerned that this could mean the end of upgrades to business from coach, but that’s unlikely to happen until premium economy is available fleet-wide, if at all.
Well, now another US-based airline is following suit: Delta’s new CEO Ed Bastian shared the news that the airline plans to add a premium economy cabin of its own, beginning with the Airbus A350 — the first of which is expected to be delivered in mid-2017:
Unfortunately we don’t have any details beyond that at this point, so there are many more questions than answers, but it is clear that Delta’s Airbus A350 will offer a three-cabin configuration, with Delta One business, premium economy and coach. We don’t know if that’ll mean Delta’s upgrade certificates will only move you up to premium economy on that plane, but that’s unlikely to be the case until the new cabin is available on all (or most) of the airline’s long-haul fleet.
American’s premium economy offering isn’t tremendously innovative.
As for what the new seats will look like? We haven’t the faintest idea, but we can probably expect something fairly similar to what American Airlines plans to introduce, giving passengers a “domestic first class” experience (with wider seats and more legroom) on long international flights.
Delta already has a “premium economy” fare class and earning structure listed on its chart — for now, that only applies to flights operated by Air France, Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Australia, but Delta could choose to use the W fare class (which is just now rolling out for Comfort+) for its new product, too. So, IT-wise, the infrastructure is more or less already in place.
What do you think of Delta’s plan to offer premium economy?

Here's where Zika has spread around the world.

This article originally appeared on time.com.
The Zika virus is continuing to spread around the globe, as health responders scramble to contain outbreaks and understand the effects of the virus, including serious brain defects like microcephaly. The World Health Organization recently warned that there is potential for a “marked increase” in the number of infections, including in Europe and the U.S. After all, as experts like to say, the mosquito knows no border. To understand the scope of the virus, we’ve compiled all the countries that have been hit with Zika so far during this outbreak.

ARTIST TALK
with Nancy Mitchnick
Saturday, May 7, 1pm
Admission: Free ($5 suggested donation)

Born in Detroit in 1947, Nancy Mitchnick began to paint in earnest around age twenty and she quickly became enmeshed in the artistic milieu building around her. As a woman in a movement that was very centered on masculinity, and as a figurative painter in a moment where abstraction was the trend, she was always something of a divergent figure. Despite this clash, the intensity of Detroit’s Cass Corridor scene - a neighborhood that in the 1960s and 1970s was home to a vigorous group of young artists - was a perfect match for her extraordinary drive to paint.

Mitchnick left Detroit for New York in 1973. Eventually she came to work as a professor at Bard, CalArts, and Harvard, taking her from coast to coast and back again over the following decades. Her subjects evolved. In Detroit she had painted the visages of her artist friends. In New York she discovered her skills as a landscape painter. When she moved to New England to teach at Harvard, she painted the muddy landscapes of Ipswich.

Mitchnick was still living in Massachusetts when she began revisiting the landscapes of Detroit; today she has returned physically as well, and is working out of a studio in the Russell Industrial Center. Her paintings reflect the city, with its idiosyncratically doleful emptiness and bucolic appeal. They are among the strongest works of Mitchnick’s career.

GALLERY TALK
Jens Hoffmann on Annette Kelm 
Friday, June 24, 7pm
Admission: Free ($5 suggested donation)

As part of MOCAD’s ongoing Detroit Affinities series of solo exhibitions, Berlin-based artist Annette Kelm uses traditional photographic techniques to explore seemingly mundane objects’ social, economic, and cultural contexts. Working in the studio with intentionally abstract arrangements, she produces a series of images where the camera’s perspective revolves around these objects. Utilizing historical forms of landscape and still life, she plays with the language of advertising and documentary while exploring the intersection of photography and sculpture. The display at MOCAD brings together a series of works from throughout the artist’s career that outline these concerns.

Curated by MOCAD’s Susanne Feld Hilberry Senior Curator at Large Jens Hoffmann.

DETROIT CITY is comprised of three concurrent series: Detroit Affinities (exhibition), Detroit Speaks (education), and Detroit Stages (performance). This multi-year research program is one of the most ambitious undertakings to date at MOCAD.

DETROIT CITY funding is provided by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Kayne Foundation (Ric + Suzanne Kayne, and Jenni, Maggie, + Saree).

Mitch McEwen: Methexis

On view Friday, May 6 - August 28, 2016
 

ARTIST TALK
with Mitch McEwen
Thursday, June 30, 7pm
Admission: Free ($5 suggested donation)

Produced by V. Mitch McEwen, A(n) Office/McEwen Studio and collaborators, Methexis is a series of design studies, maps, abstract design codes, and architectural models that reimagine processes of demolition and preservation, focusing on the tens of thousands of vacant houses in Detroit that were built in the early 20th century. Arranged from the floor to the steel girders above, the models coalesce into a large sculptural field. Alongside these study objects, animations and interactive drawings exhibit a range of related speculative designs for various public spaces in Detroit, including city-owned wood-framed houses as a form of public space. Three series of videos supplement the exhibition with one of these relationships. Videos will be shown during regular business hours.

May 7 to May 29: Dawn Lundy Martin curates videos around leisure as a problem, form, and desire of bodies. Videos include works from Ronaldo V. Wilson and Martin’s own video titled Impossibility.blackness.Leisure.

June 1 to June 26: Marcelo Lopez-Dinardi, Principal of A(n) Office, curates short videos about themes of algorithms, variations, control, and time, as well as the condition of vacancy. Including Gordon Matta-Clark: Bingo (1974, 09:45 mins, color, silent) and George Maciunas: End After 9 (1966, 1:00 min, b&w, silent).

June 29 to July 31: Lundy Martin presents a poetically rooted video grouping exploring architecture and language. Featuring Sune Woods, A Feeling Like Chaos, two channel video projection (2015, 04:06 min) and Amir George’s film, Moments of Intention (2016, 11:11 min).

This exhibition has been organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit and is curated by Amy Corle, Curator of Education and Public Engagement.

The Stroh Brewery Company suffered a rapid and precipitous loss of market share during the 1980s and 1990s, declining from a Forbes 400 company to become near penniless. Stroh will share the painful unraveling of her family and her struggle to find her own identity and way back as an artist.

The Museum is an innovative addition to Detroit's vibrant Midtown neighborhood, and functions as a hub for the exploration of emerging ideas in the contemporary arts. The 22,000 square foot building, a former auto dealership, has been simply renovated to maintain its historic character. With its raw, flexible and cavernous spaces, the building is well suited to the exhibition of contemporary art. Our ambitious series of public programs includes lectures, musical performances, films, literary readings and educational activities for children. The MOCAD Store includes merchandise not sold in the metropolitan area, including specialized art and culture magazines, journals and books, as well as limited edition artists t-shirts and other functional objects. Mobile Homestead is a permanent art work by late artist Mike Kelley located on the grounds of the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. It's both a public sculpture and a private, personal architecture – based on the artist's childhood home on Palmer Road in Westland. MOCAD’s Department of Education and Public Engagement programs the ground floor of Mobile Homestead as a community space, as Kelley intended. It is home to projects, events, gatherings, conversations and displays that are created by and for a diverse public, and is intentionally unaffiliated with the Museum’s exhibitions and public programming. MOCAD has a parking lot and ample street parking. Information about MOCAD's exhibitions, programs, and special events is available on the MOCAD website at mocadetroit.org or by phone at 313.832.6622.
