Den-Zell Gilliard: In the Company of Others @Gordon Parks Gallery/Metropolitan State University

  • Gallery located in Metro State Univ. Library & Learning Ctr (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The Gordon Parks Gallery invites the community to explore the photography of Den-Zell Gilliard through the exhibit In the Company of Others. In celebration of African American History Month, Gilliard's exhibit presents selections from three series:

  • Sunday’s Best, highlighting portraits of parishioners, Sunday services and church leaders in several African American churches in south Minneapolis

  • Odyssey of a Black Boy, featuring photographs of urban black youth and families in action outdoors

  • Various self-portraits, capturing the flamboyant, often vicarious, and generally enthusiastic character of the artist

Viewed comprehensively, these series are simply about life in an African American community in all its beauty and poignancy, and more complexly about the models available and the life choices that the artist knows he must make.

“Gilliard is a young ‘street’ photographer and lifelong resident of south Minneapolis. He never stages his shots, but shoots from life as it happens in the communities he inhabits,” says Guest Curator John Schuerman.

RECEPTION & GALLERY TALK Thursday, February 7, 6 - 8 p.m.

Interview with Gilliard and Juleana Enright, MplsArt.com December 17th, 2017 link here

Yes, and the body has memory... @Macalester

After being dislocated from its original venue due to adverse response from tenants in a loft building attached to the exhibit space, this group show curated by Mara Duvra is completing its run in the Law Warschaw Gallery in Macalester’s Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center.

The exhibition uses the work of Leah Edelman-Brier, Lorena Molina, Carla Alexandra Rodriguez and Rikki Wright to explore how familial and cultural history get passed on through generations. What unexplainable, ineffable legacies of trauma are transmitted? These artists touch on home and all its multifaceted meanings, home as in land, place of origin, as in the body, as the corporeal and spiritual connections to mothers, sisters, aunts.

Join curator Mara Duvra and artists Carla Alexandra Rodriguez and Leah Edelman-Brier for an evening to celebrate the exhibition’s successful conclusion and catalog, as well as discuss the exhibition and themes.

Yes, and the body has memory… remains on display at Macalester until January 26.

Amy Ballinger: An Imagined Journey @Gallery 427

Amy Ballinger Dreams (Present).jpg


I love to tell stories with my photos; to suggest a journey, dark, magical and full of possibilities. I love the contrast between life and death, dark and light and strive to show the beauty and tension between the two. I have always been inspired by dreams; the fantastical feeling of being in another world, how the impossible becomes possible, how forms morph and change and how universal laws such as gravity do not exist. With my photographs I hope to capture the surreal feeling of a dream and transport the viewer to another world full of imagination.

—Amy Ballinger

Gallery 427 is located in the Northrup King building in NE Minneapolis. It will be open on two Saturdays, September 22 and September 29, from noon to 4pm. There will be a closing reception on Thursday, October 4, from 6 to 9pm

Melissa Borman: A Piece of Dust in the Great Sea of Matter @ Rosalux Gallery

Borman-web_1-900x600.jpg

A Piece of Dust in the Great Sea of Matter

Exhibition of photographs by Melissa Borman runs at Rosalux from September 7 through 30.

These concurrent exhibitions [Borman and painter Shannon Estlund] bring together the artists’ shared interest in investigating our physical relationship to the natural world. In contrast to traditional landscapes in painting and photography that typically feature commanding views and vast overlooks, the images in this exhibition reflect a desire to engage intimately with natural spaces. These photographs and paintings feature obstructed views, unexpected vantage points, and a close investigation of the relationships between environments and the figures that occupy them. (from gallery press release)

Reception Friday, September 7, 7 to 10 p.m.

A History of Photography Remix: Selections from the Mia Collection

Harrison Photography Gallery and Perlman Gallery
Free Exhibition

From its inception in the 1820s, photography has become the most popular medium for artistic expression. Today, photographs are everywhere, whether made with a smartphone or encountered online, at home, in magazines—or here, in an art museum. Photography’s power is undeniable: photographs communicate what words cannot.

This thematically organized exhibition draws from Mia’s vast and varied collection of approximately 12,500 photographs. Together, they form a constellation of photographic visions and practices that extend across numerous places and points in time, revealing a multiplicity of histories, techniques, and perspectives. One of the first art museums in the United States to collect photography—since 1965—Mia continues to expand its collection. This exhibition also showcases many recent acquisitions and promised gifts that provide new connections and insights.

Exhibition organized by Yasufumi Nakamori.

Beth Dow: Prediction Error

Beth Dow: Prediction Error

  • Minneapolis Institute of Arts (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Throughout her career, Beth Dow has explored the dual nature of the photograph as both an image you see and an object you handle. For her exhibition, Prediction Error, Beth plays with our perception and expectations. Without signals (like flower stems, blue skies, or natural colors) which ground our understanding of the images, we might become uncomfortable. The absence of what we expect to see in a photograph creates a disconnection within our perception that can result in abrupt adjustments within ourselves—physically and mentally. We begin to question our vantage point within the image and, ultimately, the nature of the photograph all together.

Dow’s photographs have been exhibited throughout the Midwest, as well in New York, the United Kingdom, Japan and China. She has been the recipient of a Minnesota State Arts Board Fellowship (2008), a McKnight Foundation Fellowship (2004), and a Greater London Arts grant (1989).
