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.
The Regrettable Truth of the Cliché
The Windows are currently showing Christopher Rowley, a new artist to Susan Hensel Gallery, for his show, The Regrettable Truth of the Cliché.
Running from May 15th, 2022 to July 15th, 2022, The Regrettable Truth of the Cliché is a show of paintings often using traditional rug-making and embroidery techniques to explore both a formal and content-driven relationship with contemporary abstraction. The artist is currently focused on developing abstractions that are derived from. and related to, mechanical components and piping constructs.
Rowley’s new exhibit moves his practice forward, continuing to develop his visual language to communicate these ideas with striking confidence, elan, and a heavy dose of charm.
Neotectonic Period: A Radical Proposal for Beauty
Susan Hensel Gallery on Artsy.net is exhibiting a new online exclusive show and in-real-life window show from Susan Hensel titled Neotectonic Period: A Radical Proposal for Beauty.
Running from March 15th to May 15th on the Susan Hensel Gallery’s online Artsy platform, the show exhibits the artist’s groundbreaking digital embroidery techniques combined with a variety of materials. Two large works will occupy the windows of the brick-and-mortar Susan Hensel Gallery in Minneapolis at 3441 Cedar Ave S.
The stunning array of objects blends Hensel’s familiar mastery of textile sculpture with many new ideas and approaches.
Talk To Me
Susan Hensel Gallery is proud to present Minneapolis artist Ingrid Restemayer’s second show with Susan Hensel Gallery: Talk to Me.
Running from January 15th, 2022 to March 15th, 2022, these pieces continue the strong compositions and driving aesthetic focus of the artist’s oeuvre, developing the threads she has woven so far while introducing a new set of idioms. Using handmade paper, printmaking and embroidery, Restemayer gives us a quiet, contemplative view of the ways humanity communicates with itself.
The works combine colored paper as a background to etchings of animals, with embroidery that stitches the work together and adds textural elements on its own.
