Through the Looking Glass: New Paintings by Jennifer Davis
THE TOOMER GALLERY @ SooVAC:
Through the Looking Glass:
New Paintings by Jennifer Davis
June 20 - August 16, 2008
Opening Reception Friday June 20, 6-9pm
In her own invented language of symbols that are constantly growing and expanding, Jennifer Davis creates paintings expressing unspoken thoughts that demand attention through their uncomfortable silence. Through the Looking Glass is a series of whimsical and emotional narrative portraits that communicate universal aspects of humanity’s more puzzling quirks.
Davis approaches her work as an intuitive process, creating layers of content and allowing vestiges of under layers to peak through the surface. She describes the animals, objects and people depicted in her pieces as each having a unique meaning to her own life: “From the confusing battles we fight within ourselves, to the familiar feeling of being lost in a crowd, each story is played out in a dreamland that somehow feels like home.”

Draw Too: A Drawing Show in Four Acts
SOO VISUAL ARTS CENTER PRESENTS:
Draw Too: A Drawing Show in Four Acts
June 20 – August 20, 2008
Opening Reception Friday June 20, 6-9pm
In 2004 SooVAC presented a drawing show exhibiting over seventy artists, the majority of which resided in Minnesota. Works ranged from naïve line drawings, to detailed realism, from graphic prints to more painterly styles. Now in 2008 SooVAC will revisit this concept in Draw Too: A Drawing Show in Four Acts. This time around artists will explore how to express four meanings of the word draw by the act of drawing, both intangible and concrete illustrations derived from these concepts: Draw as an art form, draw a breath, draw a gun and a draw in sports.
The works must include elements of drawing though they are not limited to the strict interpretation of the act of drawing as pen or pencil to paper. In keeping with the dynamic nature of the exhibition the artists will expose multiple layers of meaning, revealing how one word can evoke a variety of conversations. Each artist will contribute works that weave a narrative thread, which investigates the complex nature of etymology and thus the act of communication. The artists are guided only by their definitions of what it means to draw, allowing for a myriad of results. Some of the works utilize traditional methods of graphite on paper while others expand the boundaries to encapsulate computer drawn imagery and unexpected materials.
Featuring Works by:
Isaac Arvold | Eric Carlson | Adam Carstens | Caleb Coppock | Craig Hill | Bethany Kalk | Katrina Lamb | John Largaespada | Rob McBroom | Michael McConnell | Kurtis Skaife | Scott Stulen | Sarah Thibault | Megan Vossler

Eclectic Melange,Photography by Don Loegering
On Exhibition: June 14 - 22, 2008
Opening Reception: Saturday, June 14, 2008, 7-11 PM
The Stevens Square Center for the Arts (SSCA) announces Eclectic Melange, Photography by Don Loegering on exhibition at SSCA from June 14-22, 2008. There will be an opening reception for Eclectic Melange on Saturday, June 14, 2008 (7-11PM).
Don has traveled to many countries and has been able to spend extended periods of time in some of them. While in the military, there were, over a period of twenty years, tours in China, Burma, India, Japan, Korea and England. The Peace Corps took him to Jamaica and Swaziland, Africa. As a student in the mid 80’s, Don spent time at Cambridge University in England and at the University of Salzburg in Austria. And on his own, he traveled extensively in England and Europe. Photography was always a big part of his activities on these trips. Don’s approach to photography is pretty eclectic. But there are two areas on which he has spent much time – florals and church towers. Don has concluded that there are only four basic forms to church towers. – the gothic spire, the renaissance dome, the Norman square tower and the onion domes of orthodox and baroque churches. But within these four basic forms there is an infinite variety of designs and shapes. That is what creates his fascination for church towers. With church towers one can always find something new and fresh to photograph on travels – whether those travels are within one’s home territory or in foreign lands.
An opening reception for Eclectic Melange will take place on Saturday, June 14th, from 7-11PM at the SSCA gallery. The reception event is free and will feature music and refreshments.

The Lost Empire - Photographer to the TSAR
In the early 1900s Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii developed an ambitious plan to complete a photographic survey of the Russian Empire that won the support of Tsar Nicholas II. Between 1909-1912, and again in 1915, he completed photographic surveys of eleven regions. With permits from the Tsar, Prokudin-Gorskii was granted access to several restricted areas within Russia and enjoyed the support and cooperation of the empire's bureaucracy. He traveled the country in a specially equipped railroad car that was provided by the Ministry of Transportation.
By 1918 the Tsar and his family had been murdered, and the empire that had been carefully documented in the photos of Prokudin-Gorskii had been destroyed. His unique images of Russia on the eve of revolution recorded on glass plates were scanned and, through an innovative process known as digichromatography, a series of amazing color images have been produced. This exhibition features a sampling of Prokudin-Gorskii's historic images that are available to the public for the first time.
AT the Museum of Russian Art
General visitor hours:
* Mondays – Wednesday: 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
* Thursday: 10:00 am to 8:00 pm
* Fridays: 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
* Saturdays: 10:00 am to 4:00 pm

ARP! Release Party and Exhibit June 13th 7-11 pm
Special Collection
What: ARP! Release Party and Exhibit
When: June 13th 7-11 pm
Where: Art of This
What Else: Music by Greg Carr, Video by Jim Gladman, the Collections of ARP!'s friends and acquaintances
Another issue of ARP! (Art Review and Preview) will be released into Twin Cities art scene Friday, June 13th. Come help us celebrate, and absorb some visual and auditory variations on this issue's theme: Collecting & Collection.
The issue examines the act of collecting, its various modes, and the compulsions that drive us to acquire things of a kind. In honor, Art of This will be full of odd personal collections, including: poodles, nutcrackers, miniature Tupperware, postcards, notes passed in class, keychains, editions of Catcher in the Rye, and more!
The party will feature music by Greg Carr (host of KFAI's Dig Up the Roots) and his three-tone-armed dual-record playing Ancient Mix Master; a live v-jay session by artist Jim Gladman, who collects and re-combines clips from "the media's" hive mind; and a selection from Matt Bakkom's infamous film archive.
Vol. 2, #1 marks the beginning of ARP!'s second year as the Twin Cities' only print publication dedicated to visual art (as far as we know!). ARP! is a forum for visual arts criticism—and all sorts of other stuff—that you can hold in your hand, bring to a friend, or take into the bathroom.
C U There!
Ariel, Tiff & Troy
Starts at 7 pm at Art of This, 3506 Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis. $5 suggested donation. Treats by Chow Girls.
Find ARP! at your local coffeeshop/gallery/restroom.

Canon Explorer of Light
ASMP-MSP is thrilled that Canon will be sponsoring another Explorer of Light presentation to our community this year. We are even more excited that our speaker will be Vincent Laforet. It just doesn’t get much better than this.

His approach to aerial photography has been singled out as one of the most unique and interpretive amongst photographers today.
A visit to his web site reveals that if an event or a country has been recently in the news or has been evident in the global consciousness Vincent has covered it and done so with compassion, insight, and pristine graphic clarity. www.laforetvisuals.com
At the age of 32, his work has been published in most major publications around the world and he has been sent on assignment by Vanity Fair, The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, Time, Newsweek, and Life Magazine. His photographs have been exhibited at the International Center of Photography in New York City, and Visa Pour L'Image in Perpignan.
Vincent's was recognized as one of the "100 Most Influential People in Photography" by American Photo Magazine in 2005 and was named one of the "30 photographers to watch under 30" by PDN in 2002. He and four other photographers were awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Feature Photography for their post-9/11 coverage overseas in 2002. His work has been recognized in the Communication Arts Annual, PDN Annual, The World Press Photo Awards, The Pictures of the Year Competition, The Overseas Press Club, The National Headliners Awards, The Pro-Football Hall of Fame.
