SUMMARY:Insomniac - Nina Martine Robinson
DESCRIPTION:“INSOMNIAC” by Nina Martine Robinson\nOpens at Susan Hensel Gallery \nMINNEAPOLIS\, Minnesota — Susan Hensel Gallery welcomes back fiber artist Nina Martine Robinson for her latest solo exhibition INSOMNIAC. \nThe show opens in the windows at 3441 Cedar Ave S\, Minneapolis\, and online on July 20 and runs through September 15\, 2022\, celebrating neurodivergence through crocheted figures. The brightly colored pieces represent various aspects and experiences on the spectrum\, uncovering and celebrating the inner lives of people with autism. \nOf particular interest to the artist is the idea of “masking” — a prevalent behavior among young girls with autism where they hide their symptomatic traits to appear neurotypical. “Masking” leads many girls to go misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all. \nThe crocheted pieces in INSOMNIAC uphold and celebrate the odd\, unexpected\, and surprising forms it uses to explore this hidden interior life for neurodivergent people. The balance between the figurative and the abstract makes the work a captivating example of fiber art. \nINSOMNIAC seeks to express inner states and casts of emotions. This is a universe filled with cartoon-like characters in three dimensions\, happy and optimistic representations of a set of feelings and a way of experiencing the world.  The effervescence of the art makes it a highly positive experience\, focused on the delight in and acknowledgment of our neurodiversity. This has been a mission for the artist since she began researching autism spectrum disorders after her son was diagnosed. She now uses her textile art as a way to create awareness and greater acceptance of neurodivergent people. \nA St. Paul artist\, Robinson has a long history with the world of sewing\, one that runs like a thread through her own experience of family. She was taught by her mother as a young girl\, but after leaving school\, she wouldn’t sew again until her first son was born. This included making stuffed animals and dolls — the first bud of Robinson’s journey into fiber arts. \nShe eventually returned to school to get a BA in 2011\, and since then she has appeared in many selected exhibitions and collaborative projects. This includes a 2020 appearance at Susan Hensel Gallery with her window exhibit Neurotangle. \nThe Susan Hensel Gallery is excited to welcome back Robinson and her fascinating work. The gallery focuses on compelling objects\, meaningful use of materials\, and engaging sculpture. It is a gallery where experimental ideas and works of the hand join to create unique sensory experiences. \nVisit Artsy.net/susan-hensel-gallery to view Robinson’s INSOMNIAC beginning July 20 through September 15\, 2022.

SUMMARY:July 4th - Reflections on a Hypocritical Holiday
DESCRIPTION:July – Reflections on a Hypocritical Holiday \nBy Laura Mann-Hill -ACW Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator \nThe current moment we find ourselves\, from the lens of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion is full of tension\, complexity\, and contradictions. As we push for change to undo systems of oppression such as white supremacy and patriarchy\, we find the other side is pushing back just as hard. In July\, many people celebrate “Independence Day” but if you have ever read or listened to\, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July” by Frederick Douglass\, spoken on July 5th\, 1852\, we are reminded of the pain and hypocrisy of the holiday. \n“Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice\, embodied in that Declaration of Independence\, extended to us? ….your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants…your shouts of liberty and equality…..are to him [enslaved people]\, mere bombast\, fraud\, deception\, impiety\, and hypocrisy.” \nThere is still much to critique in the speech\, including the use of the word “man” to describe people\, but many truths in his words and an important call to action. How can we truly achieve equity and equality on land built on stolen land with stolen labor? Since stepping foot on this continent\, colonizers have attempted to assimilate or erase Indigenous people\, lands\, and culture while attempting to enslave people from Africa and assert dominance over people’s bodies and autonomy. \nThe US continues to deny basic human rights to large swaths of people based on gender\, race\, sexuality\, ability\, and other aspects of our intersectional identities. \nWe cannot remain complacent in our role as artists and humans and find ways as a community to support and uplift and better care for each other. We must tap into our creativity and imagination as we continue to fight for equality and access to basic human rights. \n“You can’t help it. An artist’s duty\, as far as I’m concerned\, is to reflect the times.” \n\nNina Simone\n\nTo hear Nina Simone sing\, Mississippi Goddam:\nhttps://youtu.be/LJ25-U3jNWM \nTo hear the full speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July” by Frederick Douglass\, read by actor James Earl Jones:\nhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O0baE_CtU08&feature=youtu.be

SUMMARY:Owen Brown @ Sabes Center
DESCRIPTION:Owen Brown will be showing a quadriptych\, “Often I am Permitted to Return to a Meadow\,” at the Sabes Center \nThe opening is June 30th\, 7 to 9\, and the show will be on for over a month.  \n4330 S. Cedar Lake Road\nMinneapolis\, MN 55416 \nThe current Hebrew year\, 5782\, is a Shmita year. Shmita means “release” in Hebrew and refers to the seventh year in a seven-year cycle (like the seven-day cycle culminating in Shabbat). According to the Torah\, during the seventh year\, God commands us to let the land rest\, release debts\, resolve disputes\, and open our hands and hearts to those in need. The Shmita Project asks us to consider how do we bring this tradition alive in an era when we no longer rely on the rhythms and harvest of our fields to survive. Featuring submissions to Hazon’s Shmita Project\, this multimedia exhibit showcases artwork from all over the country with related programming that will engage the community with the art and provide opportunities to gain their own personal insights about shmita.   Read More:  https://www.sabesjcc.org/about/jcc-collaboration/

DESCRIPTION:Club Critique June 27 \nJoin Barbara Bridges @ 2323 Monroe St NE\, Minneapolis\, 6:00 PM.\nMaine Seafood Chowdah will be served. \nElements and Principles\, Meaning and the Message\, and Cultural Appropriation will be discussed. \nYou can Still Join Club Critique: Details and Members:  https://www.arttochangetheworld.org/gritique-minutes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBarbara Rogers Bridges has been an artist and a teacher/college professor for over 40 years. Her social practice sculptures have been exhibited in Maine\, Miami\, the Virgin Islands\, Maryland\, Chicago\, Mexico\, Spain\, Canada\, and throughout Minnesota. Bridges taught K-12 art in Minnesota\, Maine\, and the Virgin Islands and trained teachers in higher education at the University of Minnesota and Bemidji State University. \nBarbara creates social practice art from fabricated components in a variety of media and rescued “power objects.” She manipulates the objects to create meaning and provoke discussions and reflection on a wide variety of social topics. \nShe is an intervenor. Cambridge-educated philosopher\, Tim Ingold\, holds a unique theory on art-making. Dr. Ingold suggests that artists are simply interveners on any particular materials and/or objects the artist manipulates.  Any object already has a story\, the artist simply recombines these objects to create a new narrative. \n  \nBarbara is the founder and director of Art to Change the World.    Read More   Please contact Barbara if you would like to buy any of her art  drb@bridgescreate.com\nArtwork:  How to Lose a Democracy\n\nRead More:  https://www.arttochangetheworld.org/barbara-bridges

Through these years\, we have grown in our abilities\, sometimes altered artistic direction\, or just learned to explore new ideas as we shared our creative process with one another. \nThis exhibit celebrates our long-term connection with one another. These works illustrate how art was a diversion from the pandemic stresses as we retreated into studios to work alone. Some of us focused on adhering to the artistic paths on which we began; others deviated into a new artistic direction. We all have been fed by the creative force and continue to honor our connection to it and to one another.
