| Get Lucky 2009: Lucky Seven and the Seven Deadly Sins… Soo Visual Arts Center | Sat., January 10, 7:00pm-11:00pm | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 Times are looking tough here in the Twin Cities for nonprofit arts organizations. Creative spaces, including Intermedia Arts and the Minnesota Center for Photography, have sadly gone the way of the dodo this year. But that doesn't mean that art is extinct. Celebrating their luck in survival... More >> |

| 32 X 4 Minneapolis Central Library | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., December 12 until Sun., March 1 | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 The new photography exhibition, "32X4," at the Minneapolis Central Library proves the dusty cliché, "The more things change, the more they stay the same," to be true about Twin Cities neighborhoods. For the project, local photographers Michael Dvorak, Dusty Hoskovec, Sarah Stacke, and... More >> |

| Avant-garde Artist's Books Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sat., December 6 until Sun., May 24 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 The cliché "don't judge a book by its cover" definitely doesn't belong at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts' new exhibit "Breaking with Convention: Avant-Garde Artist's Books." That's for a couple of reasons: first, because some of the books won't even have conventional covers, and of... More >> |

| Form + Content X 2 Form + Content Gallery | Daily from Sat., January 10 until Sat., February 7 | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 In celebration of its second anniversary this coming March, Form + Content Gallery will show work by emerging artists, exhibited side-by side with the artists who inspire and influence them.

| Holiday Traditions Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Fri., November 28 until Sun., January 11 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 Believe it or not, there was a time when people didn't decorate their front yards with light-up, animatronic reindeer and giant inflatable Santa Clauses. In fact, once, long, long ago, there were no NASCAR or talking Star Trek Christmas tree ornaments. This might also come as a shock, but... More >> |

| INDIA: Public Places, Private Spaces Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sun., October 26 until Sun., January 18 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 When we think of art from India, most of us probably conjure images of Bollywood films or Hindu deities with four arms. This massive show of contemporary Indian photography and video art at MIA promises to be eye-opening, playing with some Indian traditions and stereotypes and exploding others.... More >> |

| Looking Into Likeness: Portraits in the Weisman Collection Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum | Daily from Sat., November 22 until Sat., March 7 | University | |
 The Weisman's collection of portraits makes one thing very clear: The meaning of "portait" can be very flexible. Sure, the exhibit includes the museum's standard portraits on display, including Manet's painting of Edgar Allan Poe. And there's nothing wrong with time-honored techniques like... More >> |

| Megan Rye: A Long Night's Journey Into Day Chambers Kitchen | Daily from Fri., November 14 until Sun., January 11 | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 Megan Rye's paintings of the Iraq war are real enough to make the actuality of the battlefront known to the viewer as well as a photo would, but they have a layer of confusion and ambiguity that allows (or forces) people to interpret the images as they want to. Perhaps this emotional... More >> |

| Robert Rauschenberg: Prints/Editions 1962-78 Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sat., October 4 until Sun., March 15 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 Forty or 50 years on, it's hard to imagine now the manic energy of the art world in the 1960s, or the way that Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, in particular, blew the doors off of artistic sensibilities at the time. Their libertine experimentalism bridged abstract expressionism and pop... More >> |
|||
| Sleeping in Style: Textiles for the Bedroom Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sat., December 6 until Sun., May 31 | Uptown/ Eat Street | |
 The way in which people sleep says a lot about their culture. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts' bedding exhibit, "Style: Textiles for the Bedroom," explores this concept. It compiles blankets, bedcovers, and bedroom items from nations and cultures across the globe to bring viewers new... More >> |

| Tetsumi Kudo: Garden of Metamorphosis Walker Art Center | Daily from Sat., October 18 until Sun., January 11 | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 Late Japanese artist Tetsumi Kudo is sort of like the pinball-ish game pachinko: While hugely popular in Japan and select other places on the map, he just never took off in America. Sure, some American art scholars can talk about his impact on postwar art movements. But despite the 18 years... More >> |

| Text/Messages: Books By Artists Walker Art Center | Daily from Thu., December 18 until Sun., April 19 | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 The definitions of "book" and "book arts" have changed drastically in the last 30 or 40 years. No longer is the art form limited to ornately constructed tomes made of leather and gold leaf. Modern books destined for museums demand the viewer to, pardon the pun, read between the lines. In fact,... More >> |

| Danny Saathoff: The Mechanical Alchemist Gallery 360 | Daily from Sat., November 8 until Sun., January 11 | Edina | |
 In the parlance of the art world, which seems to put a premium on stuffiness, Danny Saathoff's new show, "The Mechanical Alchemist," is a collection of "interactive assemblages." But don't let the terms fool you; the art is very anti-stuffy. You can think of the pieces as artistic Bop-Its.... More >> |

| The Art of Performance Altered Esthetics | Every week Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday from Thu., January 8 until Sat., January 31 | Northeast | |
 Though we humans love to categorize art by genre, style, or performance type, art is a vague beast with lots of overlap. Take a dance performance, for example. Though we call it "dance," a dance performance is not simply a dance performance. Of course there are dancers who move and bend and... More >> |

| Vatican Splendors: From Saint Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Swiss Guard Minnesota History Center | Daily from Sat., September 27 until Sun., January 11 | St. Paul (Downtown) | |
 Remember that Onion headline a few years back when Pope John Paul II died? "Heaven Less Opulent Than Vatican, Reports Disappointed Pope." Zing. Everybody knows that the pope and his posse at the Vatican live surrounded by ornate and priceless treasures amid ancient buildings designed and... More >> |
