2010-06-17T09:50:00.001-07:00

Hey all,
My Tent Services project is opening at the Weisman Art Museum this Friday, June 18 from 5:30-8:30. It is part of the show Ordinarily Here,
http://weisman.umn.edu/exhibits/OrdinarilyHere/home.html

The best part is that Tents will be available for checkout all summer until October 10, 2010. So come by and check out a tent this summer or fall. Checkout hours are Thursdays from 5:30-7:30.

more info at www.tentservices.org

Embroidery based on graffiti tags. Drawings of paper shredder scraps. Paintings on sheetrock alongside piles of bricks. Art made from tape, wire, and beads. Installations based on typos from office memos. These and other works inspired by aspects of common experience make up the exhibition Ordinarily Here. The exhibition's ten Minnesota-based artists explore how place can re-contextualize everyday life, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Exhibition Artists:
Adam Caillier
Gregory Fitz
Jenny Jenkins
Val Jenkins
David Lefkowitz
Vince Leo
Kimberlee Roth
Elizabeth Simonson
Peter Haakon Thompson
Diane Willow

ok, hope to see you there and hope you are having an fantastic summer

Peter

Version Fest

2006-03-17T14:39:00.000-08:00

hello all
last monday at the meeting we talked about the Art Shanty attending
Version Fest in Chicago. the dates are Apr 27 to May 1st. Last year
we brought 5 Shanties down and a bunch of art that was about Shanties
and made some connections and just spread the word about Minnesota,
the Soap Factory and the Art Shanty.
We want to go again this year and are extending the opportunity to
anyone who would like to be involved.
some ideas so far:
:we can set some Shanties up inside this big warehouse where the NFO
Expo takes place
:at the moment we plan to bring one for sure and make it the Norae
Shanty.
:there are also spaces outside for Shanties to be set up
:we would also like to bring visual art from or about the Shanty
project, including having a slide show of images running.
:the designers are working on some kind of 'leave behind' that people
who are interested in the project can take.
:it is also a possibility for people to come and help staff whatever
we bring and not have to bring a shanty along.
:there are many possibilities for what can take place so in light of
that David has made a blog where we can all post and discuss what we
might want to do.
the address is
blog site:

email direct to blog
aspversion.medicinelake@blogger.com
if you send an email to this address it will post on the blog

so use this site to indicate if you are interested in going and what
you might want to do.
and as a reminder please send me some images on a disk of the project
and if you have not yet filled out a survey please do that as well
hope you are all well.
