Winter One-Nighters: A Not Too Distant Past Art Of This Fri., December 5, 7:00pm Uptown/ Eat Street
Though our minds often jump instantly to New York, Chicago is truly our big sister city to the east.

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 >>

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 >>
Sketchy Past Rosalux Gallery Daily from Wed., December 3 until Wed., December 31 Minneapolis (Downtown)
Rosalux Gallery's latest show, "Sketchy Past," brings together media and themes that are less than similar.

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 >>
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 Hidden World of Bears: Photography by Lynn Rogers Bell Museum Of Natural History Daily from Wed., August 27 until Sun., January 4 University

Toys On Roids Soo Visual Arts Center Daily from Fri., November 7 until Wed., December 24 Uptown/ Eat Street
Despite the title of this show, it is not a series of José Canseco Starting Lineup figurines on display. Although that would be kind of cool, too. The "roids" in Sean Tubridy's "Toys on Roids" do not refer to steroids, but to Polaroid photos. And the "toys" refers to, well, that's pretty... 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)

William Lamson: Actions Franklin Art Works Daily from Fri., November 7 until Sat., December 20 Uptown/ Eat Street
Artist William Lamson's video collection "Actions" is perhaps the most entertaining art being created right now. This is not hyperbole. This is not exaggeration. This is not an opinion.
