Optic Studios just sent this out, and I figured this would be something essential to post here. Seems like this is something that's been talked about for a long time and has finally happened. Great to see Eddie Fowlkes name in the same breath as the other 3. Nice that if there's a DEMF this year, this exhibit will still be on then.
BTW - I finally got the 3MB feat. Eddie Flashin' Fowlkes album on Tresor, mostly just for Illuminism. I'd only heard the Sun Electric edit of this track on the Tresor 2 comp until now, but damn the full version is even better!

The truth is, history is also what happened yesterday, five minutes ago, and in fact, today's events will be tomorrow's history. With this in mind the Detroit Historical Museum has partnered with the originators of Techno to share the story of their music. This groundbreaking exhibit will trace Techno's early beginning from its Detroit roots to its emergence as a global sensation. An ambitious new exhibit - the world's first on the subject -- that celebrates a style of music born in Detroit that has kept the world dancing for more than 20 years. Learn the straight story of how Juan Atkins, Eddie Fowlkes, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, four young men from metro Detroit, created and developed this electronic style of dance music and trace its early beginnings from local Detroit clubs to its emergence as a global sensation.
