Current & Upcoming Exhibitions
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, a main thoroughfare in south Minneapolis and an online venture represented on Artsy.net.
On Clouds of Glory Do We Come
Susan Hensel Gallery on Artsy.net is exhibiting a new show from Minneapolis artist K. Daphnae Koop titled On Clouds of Glory Do We Come, an online exclusive show.
But Trailing Clouds of Glory Do We Come, was born of a convergence of three things – a memory of an experience, stones collected on the shores of Lake Superior, and a re-reading of Ode on Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood by William Wordsworth. June 15- August 15 2023
Single Story
Ingrid Restemayer returns to the Susan Hensel Gallery with her latest series Single Story — a characteristically serene yet piercing look at human life. With this collection, her fiber art moves into the domain of architecture. These are pieces that trace the outline of spaces, exploring what the shape and content of these containers mean for those of us who must make our lives in them.
Each piece builds around a unifying composition: the outline of a single story building framed in a square. This striking regularity across the pieces allows Restemayer to develop a dialogue with the viewer, continuing to ask questions and assert new viewpoints that build with a force few series are willing to commit to.

Wayfinders is a pop-up show! Susan Hensel, like many if not most of us in this post(ish) pandemic, post-truth, post-democracy, environment craves techniques, methods and devices to find her way to a higher level of predictability!
