Broken Social Scene First Avenue |
Mon., October 13, 8:00pm |
Minneapolis (Downtown) |
|
Broken Social Scene might be responsible for bringing the handclap back. Who can forget it on "Stars and Sons," from 2003's award-winning You Forgot It in People album? The Toronto supergroup is also responsible for lots of other things, like helping launch former-slash-sometime bandmember... More >> |

Dan Gediman Magers & Quinn Booksellers |
Mon., October 13, 7:30pm |
Uptown/Eat Street |
|
The idea behind National Public Radio's essay series This I Believe is that we all can learn something from giving anybody three minutes to explain their beliefs. The current series, a revival of a 1950s version created by Edward R. Murrow, has sparked something of a literary phenomenon.... More >> |

Mon., October 13, 6:30pm |
Minneapolis (Downtown) |
|
Ten years after he was murdered, the appalling facts of Matthew Shepard's death in Laramie, Wyoming, have not become easier to grapple with.

Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future Minneapolis Institute Of Arts |
Daily from Sun., September 14 until Sun., January 4 |
Uptown/Eat Street |
|
It might not be well known, but Minnesota is actually a hotbed for architecture by 20th- and 21st-century masters. Whether it's Frank Gehry's bendy-metal Weisman Art Museum, César Pelli's Wells Fargo Center and Minneapolis Central Library, or Frank Lloyd Wright's Lindholm service station... More >> |

Como |
|
All the cool kids might think their Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars are just hip canvas shoes. Ditto for Technicolor Nike Air Force Ones. But to the well-trained designer's eye, these kicks mark a significant departure in our fashion history: the idea that clothes designed to be worn for sports... More >> |

Hindsight is Always 20/20 Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum |
Daily from Sat., August 23 until Sun., January 4 |
University |
|
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 |
University |
|
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 >> |

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 >> |

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 >> |

Remember that Onion headline a few years back when Pope John Paul II died? "Heaven Less Opulent Than Vatican, Reports Disappointed Pope." Zing.
