Opening April 18. Stories will be told! Jon Coffelt does far more than make tiny clothing. He tells stories. The title Communion encapsulates the collaborative process between Jon and the person commissioning the piece of clothing, melding clothing with memory. Communion also expresses the sense of the community that is generated by seeing all the pieces displayed at the same time. "Each piece represents a person. Many of those people have passed, and so the piece of clothing is a fragment. The pieces are just fragments of ourselves—people that we may have been at one time, or will be at some point."

A new show for September and April news
Andrea Miller will be presenting an installation based on a performance enititled HOW TO BUILD AN IGLOO. She and I met last Friday to nail down the dates. We had originally scheduled her for sometime in May, but real life intervened for both of us and we could not find an appropriate date. So...watch this space for details. Right now the reception for the installation is set for September 18.
the week following the opening of COMMUNION, Susan Hensel Gallery will be partnering with the new-to-our-street Van Brabson Gallery to present a papermaking weekend, April 11 &12. Bonnie Brabson will be handling the details...more info to follow.

Reader's Art gets reviewed
Many thanks to Susannah Schouweiler for a good review on MinnPost.com. http://www.minnpost.com/artsarena/2009/03/11/7292/readers%E2%80%99_art_show_
It is cold today in a way that only Minneapolis can be in March! The front windows are frosted up to the very top. We began yesterday with rain and very wet snow. By this morning, it was below zero again and all that humidity froze on the windows. When the sun hits the windows this afternoon, we may be able to see the artwork in the windows again!
Meanwhile, Zach sent over his picture of the early moments of the opening and a couple very nice shots of the show.

Reader's Art 9 opened with Reading
The white gloves were donned and the intense readers arrived. I've never had such a quiet opening...as in so little talking! They were reading deeply. There will surely be more pictures on Monday when Zach downloads his camera. Zach, my Monday salvation, does a better job of photographing the openings than I. These were the only photos I remembered to shoot. I get so caught up with the clients that I forget about my camera. I'll be interested to see what he caught on "film." He had to run out and manage an opening as a favor for ArtSpace at Lake Nokomis Presbyterian Church.
