Measuring tapes have measured and snapped shut across the space.  Plans have been drawn, tools have been assembled.  Mason jars, twin shots, paint, tape and a set of bound dolls that travel back and forth between Deb and her identical twin when they visit one another.  You can see Debora at work at work at http://artsquall.wordpress.com/ Susan Hensel Gallery The focus of Susan Hensel Gallery is on compelling objects, meaningful use of materials, and engaging sculpture.

Wrestling Books into Shape

2023-06-08T01:23:50-04:00Exhibition, Articles, News, Art|

Wrestling Books into Shape Sometimes books need extra handling to present themselves properly. Zach and Jon wrestled with Doug Beube's work for the afternoon. These altered books arrive looking like ordinary closed books. The trick with the book LIFE is to slowly and carefully sort the pages into their ideal space, then tilt the book up, and let the pages cascade! Drilling holes again.

How to Build an Igloo?

2023-06-08T01:33:09-04:00Articles, News, Art|

How to Build an Igloo? How to Build an Igloo? Summer is finally here. Warm but not too hot...and we are thinking about igloos! Local artist Andrea Miller will be wrestling with coal and ice and sod in my gallery as she wrestles with the issues of global warming and her own carbon footprint. The show starts Saturday, September 5, more or less at 2pm. With a performance by Andrea using these materials. You are invited to observe anytime between 2 and 5 pm. We really do not know how long the performance will take...how long does it take an ice shelf to melt? After the performance is complete, Andrea will clean up and re-organize the remains into a multimedia installation that will open to the public. With the usual fanfare of good food and drink, on Friday, September 18, 7-9pm.

Jon in the Venice Biennale!

Jon in the Venice Biennale! I just received an email from Jon Coffelt who had the show COMMUNION here in the gallery. A piece of cyberspace art that he collaborated on has been accepted in the Venice Biennale http://biennale.net/ in the Padiglione Pavilion. http://padiglioneinternet.com/ Jon says, ""Wikipedia Art" http://wikipediaart.org/ and http://wikipediaart.org/brief-history/ originators Nathaniel Stern and Scott Kildall conceived the project and Brian Sherwin, Patrick Lichty and myself worked through the specifics of how this would work on Wikipedia. I published the original piece on Wikipedia for the guys and we all fleshed it out over many hours before it received an AfD (article for deletion). Since that time there has been many articles that have talked about the controversy and the hypocrisy behind it. We have been working on this project for some time now."

IN SERVICE OF COMMUNITY IN SERVICE OF COMMUNITY. MEETING Wed 5/27 6:00 p.m. A BRAINSTORMING MEETING CREATING NEW FORMS OF PUBLIC ART TO COMBAT NOXIOUS GRAFFITI Corcoran Neighborhood has received seed money and is seeking artists and other creatives to help brainstorm and develop a startlingly new ( to Minneapolis) graffiti prevention program that uses public artforms. (Please note that around here we use the term 'graffiti' to refer to gang tags. Which are a serious problem in our neighborhood and are starkly different than public art, including aerosol art, including the great work that goes on at Intermedia Arts etc.) IN SERVICE OF COMMUNITY. CNO organizer Eric Gustafson traveled to Oaxaca city, Mexico in April 2008. Oaxaca has problems with graffiti and tagging that are similar, or arguably worse, than Minneapolis'. Oaxaca also has a thriving creative class and “Do-It-Yourself” ethic that recalls the Corcoran/Powderhorn area of Minneapolis. Widely evident in Oaxaca City is a simple but compelling form of public art that any audience will recognize as serving multiple purposes. To beautify, to celebrate local culture and heroes. To provoke thought about ideas and issues, and to prevent future tagging. Most of these images are simple [...]
