The Hub seeks a mural painter


MPLS artists, check it--Hub's looking for someone to paint a mural for their Minnehaha location:

"The Hub Bike Co-op is seeking proposals from local artists to paint a mural
on the east-and south-facing walls of our store at 3020 Minnehaha Ave.
South. To be considered a mural by city licensing entities, it cannot
have content directly associated with the business on which it is
painted, in our case bicycles. We are rais
ing
funds to pay for materials and an artist's stipend. Here's the catch: We
don't own our building, and the landlord doesn't want anything
permanent to be painted on it. But everything else is okay. Painting on
Tyvek, sheetmetal screwed into the concrete, whatever you can come up
with. Let us know what your experience is, how long it might take you,
when you could start and an approximate cost, and send some samples of
your work, if you have them. Thanks, The Hub"

ARP! issue release party

ARP! Magazine will celebrate the release of its latest issue, Pipe Dreams, from 7-11 pm at the new Highpoint Center for Printmaking (912 W. Lake St).

From an email blast:

The newspapers will probably still be warm from the print oven. (Have you ever smelled a baby newspaper?) Anyway, this one is as fantastic as ever, with articles covering Pipe Dreams of all fashions: on other Planets, in Wisconsin, in South Carolina, on the West Bank and in the Soap Factory, in film (both local and national), in the MAEP, in the Weisman, in dreams, etc.


Other Notes from ARP!

Please know that we're probably only doing one more issue after this. It's gonna be great, some kind of digest/compedium/book-like thing. But it might cost money. Like, $10. So... if you let us know now that you want one, we'll make sure to print enough so that you get one. Just emailariel@artreviewandpreview.org


Thank you,

Ariel, Tiff & Troy

“You’re in the right place...” - Metro Transit

Metro Transit fare during rush hour in the Twin Cities is $2.25 for local trips. The paper transfer you receive as receipt of this transaction is valid for two-and-a-half hours after purchase, enabling you to ride any number of bus routes, as well as the Hiawatha Line’s light-rail service, meeting deadlines and new people along the way. Several years of commuting on the routes and rails can result in a lot of new acquaintances, and a lot of spent transfers. Five local artists have capitalized on all the rides that they have taken, and all of the refuse that was generated, in order to make something new, that will work for anyone's budget and imagination.

In keeping with the theme, the work in RUSH HOUR is priced at rush hour fare: $2.25 per transfer.

Chad Augustin creates a landscape of scribbles, colors and characters in various states of anguish and confusion, capturing a vibrant, dark humor so pervasive in his animations and oil paintings.

Shawn Dalsen, prolific painter and street artist, translates the bold style of his personal work to iconic snapshots bleeding scandal, sex, caricature and the trappings of urban life.

Bryce Jacobson is a newcomer to formal exhibition, making his way from twisted comics and tattoo art to churning out dozens of experimental nuggets and ambiguous narratives, at turns hilarious and bizarre.

Eric Mattheis has recently made a jump into gallery spaces and onto walls with his bubbling, toxic characters and intense color shapes. His transition to the small paper canvas is easy, the results no less striking.

Matt Wells, emerging artist, illustrator and designer, plays with abstraction, battling robots, insane people and the fate of the world with an eye for detail and a feel for off-putting humor.

Wielding an arsenal of inks, acrylics, collage, spray paint, oils, fire, blades, stencils, and diverse methods, the artists of RUSH HOUR have transformed a collection of waste into a unique body of work over several months. The results reveal surprising glimpses into the psyches of these five young men, from the maniacal visions of Augustin’s swift drawings to the graphic intensity of Dalsen’s tortured visages.

In addition to the visual art, St. Stephens Humans Rights Program will be presenting a series of short films documenting issues that affect people in our community (including transportation and healthcare), as well as information about how everyone can contribute to the Program’s mission.

Emerging filmmaker Sam Thompson has produced a viral video to promote the exhibition, featuring music from Samwell Rowan’s new album The Closing Procedure. Thompson recently directed the critically successful independent film Living Arrangements, which debuted at Uptown Theater.
