Nearly 500 images and publications attest to Friedlander’s sweeping virtuosity and unquenchable curiosity.

Order, Happiness and Other Fictional Perceptions | JUNE, 28 — JULY, 26
Fox Tax Gallery | 503 1st Ave NE Minneapolis, MN 55413
Exploring set perceptions, this group exhibition challenges the viewer to look beyond the first layers of assumptions and into those that are born from looking into the obscured details. As humans we often skim over the details either filling in the blanks with candy and roses or creating monsters out of dark shadows with our perceptions rarely lining up with reality. With each of the four artists on display perceptions are contoured and tweaked, at times bringing the viewer closer to reality and at times spiraling them further into the fictional.
Featuring artists Conor King (photography), Jaron Childs (collage), Pam Valfer (drawings) and Amy Pierce (film). |

Through the Looking Glass | JUNE, 20 — AUGUST, 16
Toomer Gallery | 2640 Lyndale Avenue South Minneapolis, Minnesota 55408
New Paintings by Jennifer Davis
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 new 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 | JUNE, 20 — AUGUST, 16
SOO Visual Arts Center | 2640 Lyndale Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55408
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.
Artists: 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

Wall-to-Wall | JUNE, 13 — AUGUST, 25
Mpls Photo Coop | 2400 North Second Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55411
The Wall-to-Wall Project begins with a simple contention: Pilgrims - whether they are Jews traveling to the Western Wall, or Elvis fans going to Graceland - share a profound link through their devotion and their choice to express that devotion through a journey.
For the past year, photographer Orin Rutchick and write Chris Welsch have been gathering a visual and verbal exploration of modern pilgrimage at the Western Wall in Jerusalem and at the wall of Graceland in Memphis. This evening's exhibit and reading are a benefit and fundraiser for the artists to complete their documentation by traveling to Jerusalem in September 2008 |

Roger, Roger | MAY, 24 — JULY, 6
Soap Factory | 520 2nd Street Southeast Minneapolis, MN
Roger, Roger, a new, 6-channel video installation by Traci Tullius, will be exhibited in Gallery One, where the distinct mood of The Soap Factory will reinforce the strangeness, rawness, and occasional desperation of the story line. Connected by musical interludes performed by the artist's father in a deserted, Ford dealership showroom, the 6 projections that compose Roger, Roger form a semi-narrative, quasi-factual, spatial poem. Part folk tale, part fantasy and part down-home jamboree, this multi-channel video is an Oklahoma-centric epic reflecting the inherent weirdness of the middle of nowhere. |
MEANDER | MAY, 24 — JULY, 6

Artists include: Shepherd Alligood, Andrea Selese Carlson, Caleb Coppock, Robin Cotton, Mitchell Dose, Isa Gagarin, Sally Grayson, Brian Jorgenson, Bethany Kalk, Ryan MacIntyre, Markus Merkle, Erika Ritzel, Molly Roth, Chad Rutter, Joe Sinness, Emily Smith, Dan Tesene, Angela Zammarelli |

Fashioned | MAY, 3 — JULY, 13
Minnesota Center for Photography | 165 13th Avenue Northeast Minneapolis, MN 55413
An examination of how fashion and identity interrelate. Do clothes make the man, or vice versa? The photographers in Fashioned make images in which costume and character weave together, posing subtle questions about the validity of first impressions, about the endurance of clothing as a marker of identity, and about the tensions that play out between one’s self and one’s daily appearance.
Artists: Linda Brooks, Michael Dvorak, Martine Fougeron, Nick Kline, Jessica Rowe, Ryan Wong
