HOW TO BUILD AN IGLOO?

SEPT. 18-25 Live Performance
Sat. Sept. 5, 2-5 p.m.

Opening Reception
Sat. Sept. 18, 7-9 p.m.

Andrea Miller, a local and emerging artist who recently dove into the foray of performance and installation, is making work that focuses specifically on the relationship between the flux of our physical landscapes to that of our emotional landscapes. Exploring the question, “How do we find shelter in an ever-changing world?”, Miller’s newest piece, “How to Build an Igloo?” will be opened September 18th at Susan Hensel Gallery in South Minneapolis. It was an experimental performance documented through an installation, and Miller intended for it to serve as a springboard for dialogue about the struggle to find mental and emotional stability in our environment, despite our knowledge that it is rapidly deteriorating.

Miller’s performance happened on September 5th at Susan Hensel Gallery at 2 p.m. The public was invited to view the performance at one’s leisure between 2 and 5 p.m. The performance was recorded and incorporated into the installation that opened on the 18th.

Using an odd and symbolic mixture of materials such as sod, an ice shelf, and a blanket woven from charcoal, Miller visually mapped her carbon footprint.
