The "Detroit Revealed" exhibit does not open at the Detroit Institute of Arts until October 16 but Slate's already got a preview with 13 of the more than 50 photos that will be on view.

It is widespread but unique, and therefore attracts many photographers and artists to the city. · Detroit: City of stunning contradictions [Slate]
