Brütaal Fight Night Myth Fri., September 5, 7:00pm Suburbs
Through the annals of history and the thousands years language took to evolve from primitive grunts to words, and on to different languages, the meaning of the umlaut has remained constant. The pair of dots hovering over a vowel is synonymous with one thing: badass-ness. Heavy metal bad boys... More >>
Lookbook; To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie; Brutal Becomings 331 Club Fri., September 5, 9:00pm Minneapolis (North & Northeast)
Attention Republicans: After four long days of the RNC, I'm sure your lungs are tired from spewing rhetorical hot air, your hands are limp from giving your egos endless deep-tissue massages, and your eyes might very well be bleary from late nights at the strip joints. You need a break. Why not... More >>
Nas First Avenue Fri., September 5, 8:00pm Minneapolis (Downtown)
That crucifixion video was a bit much, and "One Mic" couldn't save Stillmatic from the doldrums, so if you've tuned out Nas since around "Black Girl Lost" on his second album, you're not alone. But starting with 2002's The Lost Tapes and God's Son (both on Columbia), he's released one must-hear... More >>
Punch Brothers The Cedar Fri., September 5, 7:00pm Minneapolis (Downtown)

more dates/times 		Minneapolis (South)
If you're old enough to remember the post-convention presidential campaign between Michael Dukakis and pere Bush, you can recall how a seemingly can't-miss candidate can be brought down by a fangs-bared campaign of savage ridicule and schoolyard character assassination. (And if you are indeed... More >>
30 Percent More Commercial First Amendment Gallery Daily from Sat., August 23 until Thu., September 25 Minneapolis (North & Northeast)

American Pottery Festival Northern Clay Center Fri., September 5, 5:00pm-9:00pm
more dates/times 		Minneapolis (South)
Quick, name a world-renowned pottery artist. Okay, so maybe pottery isn't the most popular or well-known form of art. But that only amplifies the importance of the Northern Clay Center's annual pottery Woodstock, the American Pottery Festival. And here's the name of a potting genius to keep in... More >>
Concrete and Grass: Lowertown Music Festival Mears Park Fri., September 5, 5:00pm-10:00pm
more dates/times 		St. Paul (Downtown)
Lowertown St. Paul has been on a roll lately. Several summers ago I would have only recommended a trip to the region for the Farmers' Market, or perhaps for a glass of wine at the Black Dog before heading over to the Ordway for a show. However, in the past couple of weeks Lowertown has hosted... More >>
Design For the Other 90% Minneapolis Sculpture Garden Daily from Sat., May 24 until Sun., September 7 Suburbs
According to the press release for this show, 90 percent of the world's population, or 5.8 billion people, have no access (or sparse access) to products and services we take for granted.

From Sportswear to Streetwear The Goldstein Museum Of Design Daily from Sat., August 16 until Sun., November 2 St. Paul (Greater)
All the cool kids might think their Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars are just hip canvas shoes. Ditto for Technicolor Nike Air Force Ones.

Hindsight is Always 20/20 Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum Daily from Sat., August 23 until Sun., January 4 Minneapolis (Downtown)
As the Faces lamented in "Oh La La": I wish that I knew what I know now/When I was younger. Truer words are rarely spoken. In "Hindsight Is Always 20/20," New York-based artist and composer R. Luke Dubois explores this irony with a visual pun. In his 43 prints and light boxes, Dubois creates a... More >>

History Room: 20 Years of No Name The Soap Factory Daily from Sat., April 19 until Sun., October 26 Minneapolis (North & Northeast)
A lot has changed over the past 20 years. We've gone through three presidents. Macs became cool, then lame, then cool again. Alternative music became corporatized, then turned into emo. A lot has changed over the years for the Soap Factory as well. One of the oldest galleries in the Twin Cities... More >>

Walker On the Green: Artist Designed Miniature Golf Minneapolis Sculpture Garden Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., May 24 until Sun., September 7, 10:00am-8:00pm Suburbs
Walker Art Center's two brand-new, seven-hole mini golf courses aren't your average putt-putt experience. They don't have oversize windmill blades covering the tunnel to the hole, or any other mini golf clichés. Artists designed the holes around the theme "Green," and were given the... More >>
Richard Prince: Spiritual America Walker Art Center Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., March 14 until Sun., September 14 Minneapolis (Downtown)

Statements: Beuys, Flavin, Judd Walker Art Center Daily from Thu., May 15 until Sun., July 12 Minneapolis (Downtown)
At first glance, it might be hard to find a common thread between these three artists, other than hastily applying a "Minimalism" tag to their work or noting that the bulk of their work came out of the 1960s and '70s. Joseph Bueys often worked with felt and manipulated found objects,... More >>
The Lost Empire: Photographer to the Tsar The Museum Of Russian Art Daily from Mon., May 5 until Wed., October 1 Minneapolis (South)
If there is one thing to be said about Russian photographer Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii, it's that he was ambitious. He was a chemist and photographer who merged his passions by designing a camera and method to view black-and-white negatives in color. At the beginning of the 20th century, he took... More >>
The One Show: Advertising + Design + Interactive MCAD Gallery Daily from Sun., August 24 until Wed., September 24 Minneapolis (Downtown)
MCAD's "The One Show" is like the anti-Superbowl, or the antithesis to the increasingly mundane annual British Television Advertising Awards at the Walker. The last two offer a place for humorous and slightly weird TV ads. "The One Show," on the other hand, showcases ads that are creative,... More >>
