Reader’s Art 11 installation begins. The boxes are stowed, the tools are laid out, the artworks are more or less sorted by how they will be displayed. So, we begin. Post-its alert me to titles I might find obscure when I affix the wall labels.

I answer the phone, give in person interviews, check for accuracy in the records. Coco Mault from the City Pages wrote a very nice piece about the show. Thanks Coco! {note: one of the images in the masthead is complements of photographer Michael Shapiro.}

Susan Hensel Gallery

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 large scale 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.
