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.

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.
