As summer slowly arrives... The coming months at Susan Hensel Gallery will be pretty quiet... Well, not exactly quiet. A lot will be going on, but there will be no exhibitions scheduled for a couple of months. My summer exhibitor had to cancel for various reasons, leaving a hole in the schedule. Rather than fill the hole, I will be using the time and space to rest and spend time making my own art. I'm thinking of it as a trial run for my retirement! There will also be workmen around replacing windows! What will I be doing? Well, any number of things. First I will be filling the empty walls ( No, they are not empty yet! Carolyn Halliday's show continues until July 12) with huge sheets of paper so I can make really BIG drawings! But mostly I will be working on a couple of sculptures and installations. I will continue to dye and spin wool...Some will be for sale here and in my ETSY shop. Some will be used in my artwork. I will still keep Monday hours. The wool shop will be more open. It won't have to hide to prevent competition with the exhibitions. Textile [...]

Judith Strom: Reader's Art 12 Reader's Art 12: Longing for Home Judith Strom- This book is an exploration of our acreage here in Montana. All the materials for the book except the thread for binding & stitching and the computer inks came from our property as did the images. The paper is handmade from yucca. As with most of my work this piece grows out of my love of the natural world and most especially the beauty of our home here in Montana. Reader's Art 12: Longing for Home March 16- April 26, 2012 About Susan Hensel Gallery About Susan Hensel Gallery – Contemporary Art by Susan Hensel Opened September 10th, 2004 Susan Hensel Gallery was a gallery/ workspace presenting 5-6 shows per year devoted to the concept of narrative in the arts in an intimate space, with hardwood floors and high tin ceilings. The Susan Hensel Gallery is now both a window gallery on Cedar Avenue, the main thoroughfare in south Minneapolis and an online venture represented on Artsy.net. In March 2013, the interior space reverted to a working studio for Susan Hensel where she continues to work on small and largescale artwork with an attitude. You [...]
An orderly procession Project Gutenberg, the online archive of literature, ironically destroys printed books in order to salvage the information. Ironically, the process turns well ordered, collated text into a collection of dis-bound, chaotic materials that may or may not convey conventional information to us. With the project Gutenberg project Jeff Rathermel has collected this discarded material and compiled and re-ordered it into comprehensible collections of information. He has reconsidered the book in all its parts and has chosen attributes to highlight. Project Gutenberg project by Jeff Rathermel September 23- November 18, 2011 Opening Reception Friday, September 23, 7-10pm Susan Hensel Biography – Contemporary Art by Susan Hensel Learn about contemporary art by Susan Hensel. Susan Hensel received her BFA from the University of Michigan in 1972 with a double major in painting and sculpture and a concentration in ceramics. With a history, to date, of over 200 exhibitions, more than 30 of them solo, twenty garnering awards, Hensel’s desire to communicate ideas through art continues to be a powerful motivator. Hensel’s artwork is known and collected nationwide, represented in collecting libraries and museums as disparate as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and The Getty Research Institute. [...]
Dean Ebben: rolling in the dark It seems to me that Dean Ebben’s mythology is one of mystery, struggle, and redemption. This was the reason I invited Dean Ebben to develop a show for Susan Hensel Gallery. […]
