2020 Artist Projects

a shanty with black walls, white stars, and a red door mimics the First Avenue's 7th Street Entry, with a stanchion out on the snowy ground.

-7° Entry Danceteria

A violinist, their eyes focused on the bow, pulls it across the strings near their chin. The shadows from different lights cast warm and cool colors across their face and arms.

Circulating Nest

An illustration depicts a figure in a coat and overalls, kneeling in a pale green grid, with an enormous needle in one hand. A few coniferous saplings sprout through the grid, too. The entire image is overlaid with a pale photograph of light filtering through tree branches.

Flora Sauna

Three rectangles in various shades of blue, and one white rectangle, with sets of five horizontal black lines and diagonal black lines.

Franconia Flash

A giant red heart shape centered on an overhead view of a lush green pine forest.

Hand drawn images of lakes, glasses, rockets/popsicles, eyes, text bubbles.

LeadFoot To The Xanadu

A few people stand, studying the yellow Linden Hills Neighborhood Shanty, in front of the Lake Harriet Bandshell. The yellow shanty is open and airy, and historic photographs of the neighborhood are hung on the open walls.

Linden Hills Neighborhood Shanty

Close up teal camper van labeled "Minne Sauna" in huge bubbly letters painted grapey purple colors.

MinneSauna

wooden nickel with minnesota state shape saying "minnesota nickle - recognizing niceness"

Minnesota Nickel

A digital collage, a metallic golden sun's hollow center reveals an infinity symbol. Underneath, a cracked ice sheet separates a stranded houseboat and the words "Nauticult: A Cautionary Tale". Gold lines like a topographical map run faintly in the background.

Nauticult: A Cautionary Tale

Many people in long dresses with full sleeves raise their heads up, dancing and maybe singing. They are all wearing headscarves. An audience watches from the museum's balcony above.

Nitka

An illustration of a human figure, standing inside the can-shaped Opticon Shanty, with a ramp, windows, and a periscope.

Opticon

Bundled up and wearing red sunglasses, Patty Pucker holds an oversized prop microphone, brow furrowed slightly and one arm on her hip. A person in a blue parka standing next to her listens thoughtfully.

Patti Pucker: Live from the Ice!

Outside the wildflower muraled Pollinator Shanty, a single person looks at the flock of monarch winged art bikes. The sky is light blue, with puffy white clouds.

Pollinator Shanty

Step Right Up! Voting Booth

White line drawing on black background of 2 structures- one with arches, one wtih steps

Temple of Agency

A dozen silhouettes of lacrosse players caught in dynamic motion on the snow- two players run towards the left edge of the photograph, four seem to converge in the center, two with sticks raised. More players or perhaps observers look in from the right.

Thakápsičapi (They Play Lacrosse)

Photo of people performing on the street

That Reminds Me

A drawing of two hands loosely cupped together open. The drawing is in a circle.

The Archive of Apologies and Pardons

A drawing of one set of hands, palms face up, holding another set of hands, palms facing down, each squeezing the other's fingertips. It appears as if we're seeing these hands through a window frame, and a stripe each of grey, rose, and dark green each intersect a different part of the illustration.

The Holding Shanty

Marker drawing of a camper van with colorful pennants and "The Shanty of People Who Know Things" on it.

The Shanty of People Who Know Things

Smiling and laughing people crowded around tiny art cars on the snow- a child in a cat hat kneels, still dwarfing a purple car, the Mars rover, and a car with a babydoll head atop it.
