A not so lackadaisical summer
Summer is finally upon us. It is a glorious Independence Day morning, not yet hot. The birds are singing and the flowers swaying in the breeze. The amateur fireworks have been pretty minimal this year. But tonight will be a different story. The skies will light up with both amateur and professional fireworks.
Last week we lit up the night with words and thoughts about HOME. We had a one-night garden party…that moved inside as more storms, in a stormy summer, moved through the Twin Cities.
Rosemary Davis organized a reading of Minnesota authors: HOMETOWN: A Language We speak. Julia Jackson Hunt installed text work in the windows.
A special gallery note: as you can see in the first photo above, I am still in a sling from an accident and surgery. Recovery is slow…perhaps another 4 months. As a consequence of needing to schedule physical therapy, Monday hours are suspended for the rest of the summer. The Windows on Cedar Project continues. Next up is Marjorie Nilssen. If you need wool products: hand-dyed roving, mohair, and handspun yarn…I am still around. Feel free to call or email to set up an appointment.
Susan Hensel Gallery
The focus of Susan Hensel Gallery is on compelling objects, meaningful use of materials, and engaging sculpture. It is a gallery where experimental ideas and works of the hand join to create unique sensory experiences. Opened September 10th, 2004 Susan Hensel Gallery is a gallery/ workspace presenting 5-6 shows per year in an intimate space, with hardwood floors and high tin ceilings.
In 2013 the interior space reverted to a working studio for Susan Hensel where she continues to work on small and largescale artwork that engages both sculptural and cultural space. You can find her current work at www.SusanHenselProjects.com. The Susan Hensel Gallery is now both a large window gallery on Cedar Avenue, the main thoroughfare in south Minneapolis, and an online venture represented on Artsy.net.
