Just Looking

2023-06-08T01:46:13-04:00Articles, News|

Just Looking People who have been in the studio are mesmerized. They spend time looking and looking and looking. When they return for the opening on August 8th, I think they will be surprised by the transformation. My son, John Hensel, arrives tomorrow and we will work together on a computer program that will transform the experience. I don't want to show you too much and spoil the experience! So, the photo is intentionally enigmatic. Susan Hensel Gallery The focus of Susan Hensel Gallery is on compelling objects. Meaningful use of materials, and engaging sculpture.

In the neighborhood

2023-06-08T01:50:06-04:00Articles, Artists, Art|

In the neighborhood (Dan Bisgaard, Kanti Jocelyn-Bisgaard, Peter Wilson, Sul and David) Do you know these people? They are making a difference. South Minneapolis continues to develop as an exciting place for art. Artists James Michael Lawrence ( who will have a show at the gallery in January) and Peter Wilson sent me these photos of murals just down the street from me at Laurra Auto Service, the corner of 18th and Cedar. I had the opportunity to meet the artists, Sul and David, the other day. What a delightful meeting! These two men are devoted to using the arts to improve the neighborhood. KUDOS! The murals are painted by Sul, the words evidently provided by David.

2023-06-08T01:50:17-04:00Articles|

A new show for September and April news Andrea Miller will be presenting an installation based on a performance entitled HOW TO BUILD AN IGLOO. She and I met last Friday to nail down the dates. We had originally scheduled her for sometime in May, but real life intervened for both of us and we could not find an appropriate date. So...watch this space for details. Right now the reception for the installation is set for September 18. The week following the opening of COMMUNION, Susan Hensel Gallery will be partnering with the new-to-our-street Van Brabson Gallery to present a papermaking weekend, April 11 &12.

The Wedding Reception was Delicious Friday, May 2, the wedding reception was delicious! Betsy bakes a 5 layer wedding cake. She learned about baking "fancy stuff" when her daughter was in middle school. And insisted on studying the fine art of pastry! A bit of it rubbed off on Mom!  Late in the evening a couple of other guests arrived! Mr and Mrs Teddy Bear have gone next door to visit with my god-daughter Lisa and her little sister.

Celestial Navigation..the final programs

2023-06-08T01:50:32-04:00Articles, News, Artists|

Celestial Navigation..the final programs Talking Image Connection wrote their hearts out and read the evening of February 23 to a packed house. Most of the time the gallery space does not seem "too small." This was one of the other times... The reading was strong, exciting, at times uproarious, and just plain wonderful. The chapbook sold out immediately. The final event, before pack-up, was a breakfast hosted by Karen Hanmer for friends of the gallery and fans of her work. The fine fruits, pastries and excellent coffee were catered by the Firefly Bistro2, right next door to the gallery. We were especially pleased to feed the teenagers of the Minnesota Center for Book Arts In Design program. Do watch this space. Reader's Art 8 is coming soon!
