Saturday will find the crawl moving from Northeast — at Public Functionary for Hauck's film installation, at Dreamsong for a walkthrough of Nicole Havekost's Penumbra and a panel discussion about collecting art, and then to The Briar for a quick drink — to South Minneapolis for a workshop at Highpoint, a walkthrough of Michal Sagar's Sight Between at Form+Content, and a performance by Caroline Shaw & Sō Percussion at the Walker.

Sunday, October 20:

Don't tell us you're tired — art is life! Get back out there for a truly strange performance at David Petersen Gallery, a panel discussion at Mary Gibney's Rosalux show, walkthroughs of Mapplethorpe at Weinstein Hammons and Eso Malflor at Hair+Nails, an artist talk and sculpture park tour at Silverwood Park (a true gem), and, to cap the whole week off, a film screening at Mirror-Lab. 

 

David Petersen Gallery will be hosting a performance of sound study by Darren Bader, in which wind musicians play to floor-scattered popcorn kernels.

 

So rest up, you pretties: Twin Cities Art Week is almost here! And if that still isn't enough for you, feel free to check out MPLSART's Now Showing list for all the other amazing exhibitions on view out there, and plan a little art crawl of your own. We love art; we love you. ◼︎
