Graem Whyte
Graem Whyte (born 20th century) an American sculptor and gallerist.[1][2]
Whyte was born and raised in metropolitan Detroit and now lives in Hamtramck, Michigan.[3]
Art career
[edit]His career started in the field of architecture, later shifted to fine art, and now hybridizes both disciplines. His work uses a wide array of materials and often fuses architecture, mythology, and patterns of mathematics and nature with a wry sense of humor.[4]
In 2007, Whyte and his wife, Faina Lerman, founded the experimental-art venue Popps Packing in Hamtramck.[5][6] A later part of the Popps Packing project is Popps Emporium, an experimental storefront, community gallery, and social club using barter and time-based exchange.[7][8]
Whyte's Squash House project involved the conversion of an abandoned house in Detroit into a squash court and community squash garden.[9][10]
Whyte exhibited at the CUE Art Foundation,a gallery in New York City, in 2014.[11] His public sculpture Memory Field, a collaboration with his wife, is installed in Detroit's Calimera Park.[12][13]
