The latest exhibit at Detroit's Boyer Campbell Building has left a lasting impression on visitors. This Imbolc House of Tarot art show weaves an immersive experience that is equal parts sensory and emotional. The building, with its 13 distinct spaces, invites the viewer to immerse themselves in various artistic interpretations.
Each room is a world unto itself, filled with different artistic expressions - vibrant paintings, abstract installations, and intricate crocheted pieces. One of these rooms stood out to me, an installation by Melissa Webb titled "King of Cups". The piece is centered around the theme of healing, evoking a sense of calmness that feels more like a slow-burning fire than a sudden rush.
The room itself serves as a window into the artwork, where three individuals are physically entwined in green and blue fibers. This setup blurs the lines between observer and participant, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The installation is meant to be experienced, not just observed - it's an experience that invites the viewer to connect with their inner selves.
Across from Webb's work lies another captivating piece by Jesse Kassel titled "Nine of Pentacles". This room appears at first glance disorienting and open-ended. Unlike traditional art exhibitions, where meaning is neatly packaged, this space presents itself as a puzzle waiting for interpretation.
In essence, the installation seems to ask: Is your success coming from genuine confidence or material possessions? It holds both meanings simultaneously, reflecting how tarot cards can shift in meaning based on their orientation.
While not quite as captivating as its predecessor, this exhibit still manages to evoke strong emotions and reflections. The show cements House of Tarot's status as one of the most compelling immersive art experiences Detroit has to offer.

. tarot art is usually kinda cheesy but this was something else 
. i loved how they wove these different rooms together like a dreamworld, each one so unique and immersive 
. melissa webb's "king of cups" piece had me feeling all the feels 
... like it's not just some pretty colors and fibers, it's actually tapping into this deep sense of calmness or something 
. jesse kassel's "nine of pentacles" was trippy too 
. overall, i think house of tarot is killing the game with this exhibit 
.
I went into this "Imbolc House of Tarot" show thinking it'd be just another art gallery, but nope! Each room was like a different world - vibrant paintings, abstract installations, and even crochet pieces?! 
It's all about tapping into your inner self, you know? Like, they have this one installation called "King of Cups" that's literally like a slow-burning fire 
. And another one by Jesse Kassel, "Nine of Pentacles", that just leaves you wondering... is success really about confidence or just material stuff? 
I'm so down for more immersive art experiences like this - it's the future of art, tbh! 
. Like, you're walking around these spaces and it feels like everyone's just trying to figure things out together? You know, like we all are in life 
. And that artwork by Melissa Webb? So hauntingly beautiful... I mean, who wouldn't feel drawn into that slow-burning fire of a vibe 
.
. what i loved most was how some pieces make you feel all these emotions at once - like that "King of Cups" one with the green and blue fibers... it's like a slow burn 
I just got back from that Imbolc House of Tarot art show at Boyer Campbell Building in Detroit and I'm still reeling! 
The way they've woven these 13 spaces together is pure magic 
. Each room is like a dream world, with all these different artistic expressions going on - vibrant paintings, abstract installations, intricate crocheted pieces... it's like walking into a fantasy realm 
. I loved how the rooms invite you to become part of the artwork itself, like that installation by Melissa Webb "King of Cups" where the three people are entwined in fibers 
But what really got me was that one piece by Jesse Kassel "Nine of Pentacles" - it's like a puzzle you can't quite solve, but it makes you think about your own success and confidence 
.
. First off, 13 distinct spaces in a building? That sounds like some kind of secret society vibes 
. And what's with all these rooms being worlds unto themselves? Sounds like they're trying to distract us from the real issue at hand.
. Is the artist trying to tell us something about our society or what? I think so.
? It's like they're trying to tap into our collective unconscious or something. I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, but... actually, scratch that. I am saying it's a conspiracy 
. The way the light filters through those green and blue fibers in "King of Cups" has got me feeling all the feels 
. And don't even get me started on "Nine of Pentacles"... I'm still trying to unpack what it's saying about success 
. It's like they're speaking straight to my soul... or maybe just messing with my head 
? Either way, I need to come back here and experience it again... pronto! 
and I'm still reeling from the experience. The whole exhibit felt like a wild ride, like you're navigating through a dream world where anything can happen. For me, "King of Cups" was the standout piece - that slow-burning fire vibe really resonated with me on a deep level 
It's not always easy to leave these types of exhibits when you're done - the impact stays with you for a long time. Overall, I think House of Tarot really outdid themselves this time around 
The setup felt so otherworldly and immersive. It made me slow down and tune into my own vibes, you know? Like, I needed that moment of calmness after getting caught up in the hustle and bustle.
The way the space presented itself as open-ended and disorienting... yeah, I love it. It made me think about what success really means to us - is it about confidence or material possessions?
