Normally, the gravitational pull of the Power Station attracts visitors 
to ride the museum's stretch escalator to its higher floors. Upstairs at 
the biennale is a bank of telephones that each play a bit of music plus 
scores of works like a comment on the once-great city Detroit and 
sculptures by blind artists.
