Bentson Scholar Mason Leaver-Yap writes that the work could be viewed as double portrait of Green and Farocki, who have both worked as artist, filmmaker, teacher, and writer. More Part of the second season of Moving Image Commissions , Renée Green’s ED/HF (2017) will screen online June 15–September 10, 2017. A Demonstration for a Demonstration By Mason Leaver-Yap June 15, 2017 “Close your eyes and send an action.” Like other contributors to the Moving Image Commissions series, Pauline Boudry / Renate Lorenz’s new work responds to the influence of German filmmaker Harun Farocki. But Telepathic Improvisation (2017) also pays deep homage to another artist: the late composer and Deep Listening theorist Pauline Oliveros. More Part of the second season of Moving Image Commissions , Pauline Boudry / Renate Lorenz’s Telepathic Improvisation (2017) will screen online June 15–September 10, 2017. Help Build an Immersive Digital Ecosystem June 6, 2017 Pushing the capabilities of interactive technologies to create compelling digital artworks, Graffiti Nature–Still Mountains and Movable Lakes , the first solo museum exhibition by the Tokyo-based collective teamLab, invites you to immerse yourself in the art. The more animals and flowers you color in, the more the natural world expands around you. Here, an introduction to this engrossing project. More The interactive exhibition Graffiti Nature–Still Mountains and Movable Lakes is on view May 20–September 10, 2017. Agreement Reached on Scaffold May 31, 2017 Following a mediation process involving Dakota Spiritual and Traditional Elders, representatives from the four federally recognized Dakota tribes, the , the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, and artist Sam Durant, an agreement has been reached on Durant’s Scaffold sculpture: the work will be dismantled and its wood transported to Fort Snelling, where it will be ceremonially burned. More Avoiding the Cosmic Side-Eye from Prince By Chris Cloud May 17, 2017 “What would Prince think of what I’m doing/thinking/feeling right now?” For TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe, the question is a good barometer for a life well lived. In Minneapolis to premiere his music/animation examination of grief, mortality, and the afterlife, A Warm Weather Ghost , he discusses his music and art practices, as well as his efforts to evade the “cosmic side-eye” from the late, great Prince. More Tunde Adebimpe’s A Warm Weather Ghost makes its world premieres May 18–20, 2017. Beth Gill: A Quiet Kind of Boldness By Kaya Lovestrand May 1, 2017 Choreographer Beth Gill’s work doesn’t elicit the kind of response other radical new ideas tend to: there’s no booing from the crowd or scathing reviews. It’s a subtler form of risk-taking: her “abstract storytelling,” evidenced in a new Walker-commissioned dance work, Brand New Sidewalk , questions the dichotomy of meaning versus abstraction by reclaiming the pursuit of meaning within abstraction. More Beth Gill’s Brand New Sidewalk premiers in the McGuire Theater May 5–6, 2017. Transforming Sonic Weaponry to Spirituality By Louise Erdrich April 18, 2017 “For 100 days in Aristotle’s Lyceum, ghosts are speaking to ghosts. Restless contemporary spirits are interrogating the dead.” Novelist Louise Erdrich ( LaRose , The Round House ) considers a sound installation by the indigenous art collective Postcommodity at documenta that transforms military-grade audio weaponry—recently used against water protectors at Standing Rock—to serve more spiritual ends. More Read “ 2043: No Es Un Sueño ,” Postcommodity’s recent contribution to the ongoing Artist Op-Ed series . Larger than Life: James Rosenquist (1933–2017) By Misa Jeffereis April 4, 2017 “The reason for bigness isn’t largeness. It’s to be engulfed by peripheral vision; it questions the self and questions self-consciousness,” said Pop artist James Rosenquist, who passed away March 31 at age 83. Misa Jeffereis looks at his background and legacy, from his midwestern roots to the development of his iconic painting style, which rendered movie stars, automobiles, and food in vivid detail.
