“George Morrison: Drawing at the
Horizon”
Bockley Gallery is pleased to announce
its upcoming exhibition George Morrison: Drawing at the Horizon that
features a selection of drawings and important sketchbooks by the
Ojibwe artist. Many of the works, including documents, sketchbooks
and diaries were recently shown in an exhibition of the same title at
the Duluth Art Institute.
Drawing at the Horizon also coincides
with the traveling retrospective exhibition Modern Spirit: The Art of
George Morrison, at the Minnesota History Center.
Bockley Gallery,
2123 W. 21st St., Minneapolis, MN. Free. For more information, call
612-377-4669 or visit www.bockleygallery.com.
Through April 26
“Modern Spirit: The Art of
George Morrison”
Born in the now-vanished village of
Chippewa City, Minn., near the Grand Portage Reservation, George
Morrison later adopted that signature Indian motif, the totem pole,
which he reinterpreted in modernist sculptures. His accomplishments
are eloquently reprised with over 80 paintings, drawings and
sculpture spanning his 60-year career, the show is a well-deserved
tribute to Morrison’s complexity, steady vision, integrity and
character.
Though initiated by the Minnesota
Museum of American Art (MMAA) in St. Paul, and drawn primarily from
the MMAA collection, the show is too big to fit into that museum’s
small exhibition galleries. Its History Center presentation is the
conclusion of a two-year tour to museums in Fargo, New York,
Indianapolis and Phoenix.
Tuesdays, 10 a.m.-8 p.m.;
Wednesdays-Saturdays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sundays, noon-5 p.m. Minnesota
History Center, 345 W. Kellogg Blvd., St. Paul, MN. Admission: $11
adults; free on Tuesday evenings.
For more information, call 651-259-3000

Through May 9
“The Art of Indigenous Resistance”
The Art of Indigenous Resistance is a
traveling exhibition of work by 20 Indigenous artists co-curated by
All My Relations Gallery and Honor the Earth. The exhibition is made
of both prints and original works of art that highlights Honor the
Earth’s 31 years of Indigenous outreach and community resistance. In
correspondence with the art and activism theme, we are excited to
also include paintings from the Minneapolis community.
Visual art plays an important role as
it has the ability to stimulate and encourage a unifying perspective.
Through art, it can evoke emotion, tell stories, inspire and
motivate. When channeled as a vehicle it carries issues of
consciousness where it can become a catalyst for meaningful change.
Artist Participants: John Isaiah
Pepion, Jesus Barraza, Jaque Fragua, Betty Laduke, Votan, Gregg Deal,
