Today, I begin a new weekly (weekly!) column for MinnPost, here in Minneapolis. The Stroll will feature notable visual art-related objects or events around the Twin Cities — with each article focused on one geographic area, shown in a hand-drawn map. My hope is to draw readers’ attention not only to traditional works of visual art (though I’ll be writing plenty about those), but also to craft, architecture, design, street art, public art, advertising, fashion, furniture design, and the totally unclassifiable — anything a person could walk by and have a look at.
For the first column, I walk around Uptown looking for art, and find sexy mannequins, etchings of Winnipeg, drawings of animals by Dave Eggers, and ceramic cats. Not a bad haul! You can read it here.
It’ll appear, as if by magic, every Wednesday morning. I’m really grateful to MinnPost — in particular, Susan, Kaeti and Corey — for giving me a regular platform to highlight all the weird, wonderful art-related things to be seen in these cities.
