In other business, a driver slammed into my garage today, knocking it off the foundation. Fortunately I do not store gallery art there! It sure did consume the day however. But, I want you to know that not only can you make appointments to see JUST LOOKING. The roster for ALL THINGS ELECTORAL has been chosen. A wonderful group of local and national artists are coming together for this show.

James will be flying in to present a performance of WAR BONDS. You must BE HERE to see this! I have shown James’ political work before. The performance will be during the opening of ALL THINGS ELECTORAL.Friday, September 12. The opening runs 5-9pm. The performance will occur around 7:30 pm.

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.
