While the video edits...

Andrea Miller is busy editing the video of HOW TO BUILD AN IGLOO and thinking about the contents and contexts of the installation that opens with a gala reception September, 18, 7-9pm.

But meanwhile, there are things to think about.

The first is the COMBAT PAPER PROJECT and the WARRIOR WRITERS PROJECT. Both are coming to MCBA, in the WEEK FOR PEACE, September 19-28. "From uniform to pulp, battlefield to workshop, warrior to artist"... a healing set of events designed for combat veterans and their friends. There are many different opportunities to participate or attend.The public is welcome to visit MCBA’s studios and view the project in progress through the duration of the residency.

Special events are scheduled to encourage interaction with the veteran artists, but visitors are welcome anytime during MCBA’s open hours. Check the website or call 612.215.2520 for more information.

Coming in October...This image is just one corner of the central image associated with TAKE ANOTHER STEP by Mark Edwin Carlson. Stay tuned for more pieces of the puzzle!

Claire Jeanine Satin on Sunday

The opening of Pentinmento went off without a hitch. Beautiful books. Attentive people. Claire spoke here and at Minnesota Center for Book Arts. Key to her work as an artist is the influence of John Cage who she met while teaching in Florida. In the choices she makes, she tries to employ Cagean decision making, removing the ego and the intuition as much as possible from the equation. She feels that chance operations and indeterminancy are best expresses for her in the use of transparency, causing all things to be seen, all things to interpenetrate at any moment. This makes for a non-linear expereience of content.

Stay tuned. More pictures will follow!
