Gallery Opening

An exhibition of four artists with the theme of "earth" opened tonight. They were in various media, various sizes, and differing techniques. All mixed, perhaps 3" between, and packed in the gallery with no labels and no wall text. I'm trying to comprehend the reasoning for the installation. I'll have to sleep on it.

 

Pacita Abad

The Walker Art Center went all out to showcase Pacita Abad's work, and it was a spectacle. Large painted canvases were stitched and stuffed, along with ethnic textiles, painting, costume, and ephemera. A feast, for sure. Minneapolis is rich in art, certainly.
 

Gallery Check

While doing a little business downtown I popped in to Rochester Contemporary Art Center to see the "Cut/Paste" show that features assembled works. In the small space was a collection of album and disc and tape covers from Carbon 25. These were all fabulous graphics, diverse, and thought provoking. This was one of the covers.

Beverage, Anyone?

Here is a concept -- a gallery with no permanent (no pun intended) address having a show at a hair salon. Drinks cool in the wash basins, art hung above the hair spray line. Can't wait to see where 1975 Gallery pops up next.
