Library Street Collective is excited to announce HORSE: A Game for Everyone by artist Tyrrell Winston, supported by Bedrock Detroit. Opening to the public on August 1, 2025, this dynamic installation transforms the boundaries between sport, art, and community participation.
HORSE reimagines the basketball court as a site of creativity, memory, and public engagement. Inspired by Winston’s signature use of found and culturally charged materials, this interactive experience invites visitors to engage with art through motion, reflection, and play. Central to the installation is a sculptural “hoop tree” that reimagines the familiar form of the basketball hoop into a sprawling, seven-armed tree supporting 21 hoops at varying heights, angles, and orientations. Part monument, part playground, the work invites direct engagement, encouraging visitors to step into the space, pick up a ball, and play.
