Deleted Upcoming 2013
17th December 2012 - 8th February 2013Hena Uŋkiksuyap Hena Uŋkiksuyapi, Dakota for “we remember those,” features artworks by Dakota and other Native American artists, presented in commemoration of the mass execution on December 26, 1862 of 38 Dakota following the end of the Dakota-U.S. War of earlier that year. Artists 6-27 January, 2013Undertow Rebecca Krinke and Elaine Rutherford both work with ideas of memory - and each uses personal experience to engage larger cultural issues. Their show title Undertow alludes to what is beneath the surface and to what is seen and unseen. Rutherford’s work depicts geographies of reality and nostalgia and the spaces where they intersect or collide. Working in various media, she explores the liminal space of the in-between, as experienced by those who have left their homeland. Her paintings and mixed media installations explore the relationship between the still (painting) and the moving (film) and how these act as metaphors for time and memory. She employs visual metaphors such as bridges, roads, and bodies of water as reference to transitory and transitional spaces throughout her work. Krinke’s work embodies memory as secrets and fragments, and a source of intrusion and obsession. Her work in the exhibition features some of her hundreds of black bound notebooks: visible but trapped in immense cabinets. Her sculptural installation includes a human-animal hybrid that alludes to anxiety and adaptation. Krinke’s work can be seen in multiple ways - struggle, growth, beauty, stress, trauma, coping, transcending - and references issues felt both individually and collectively. 5 January, 2013Opening reception for Undertow 22 January - 23 February, 2013The House We Built: Feminist Art Then And Now Joyce Lyon will be one of a number of artists taking part in group exhibitions and related public programs that explore the national network of feminist art activity that emerged in the 1970s and changed the course of contemporary art. See the 'House We Built' page for full details 26 January, 2013Special event: Undertow talk Rebecca Krinke and Elaine Rutherford are both university professors in addition to being working artists - and multidisciplinary research and discussion is part of their creative practices. By inviting Stuart McLean, Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Minnesota, and Cynthia Malone, Professor of English at St. John’s University/College of St. Benedict, to reflect on the Undertow exhibition and its themes - the exhibition becomes a place of public discourse as well as private reflection. Dr. Stuart McLean’s work is focused on the intersection and overlap of “nature” and “culture” as revealed through particular sites, histories and material practices – often with alien-familiar presences such as bogs and bog bodies. His research and writings challenge restrictive definitions of creativity - seeing continuity between human creativity and the processes shaping the natural world - and that these intuitions have found a variety of expressions through mythology, folklore, literature, art, philosophy and science. Dr. Cynthia Malone’s research explores the intersections between book arts, digital forms, and literary criticism. She is currently working on an edition of Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy that explores the cognitive and temporal processes of reading the novel. 4th - 6th April3rd International Research Forum on Guided Tours David Smith will be present his paper Old Voices, New Platforms: Community as Mobile Guide as part of the conference. 29th April - 4th MayReflections on Bdote David Smith presents a photographic exhibition as a response to the Mapping Spectral Traces VI event that took place in October 2012.

These boundaries might be theoretical, professional, social, spatial, disciplinary, legal, historical or physical. We aim to attract speakers from beyond the discipline of architecture, and we welcome abstract submissions from researchers within disciplines such as geography, art, design, film, urbanism, history, performance, planning and sociology. Keynote speakers include Bernard Tschumi and Didier Faustino. Other speakers include MST members Iain Biggs and Antony Lyons, Mary Modeen, David Smith, Victoria Walters and Rebecca Krinke |

These artists include Graham Sutherland, Peter Lanyon, Keith Vaughan, Paul Nash and contemporary artists Clare Woods and George Shaw. 15 September - 28 December 2013Containment The first in the series of exhibitions with the interdisciplinary theme for 2013-14, Water. This exhibition explores our increasingly troubled relationship with water. Containment suggests antithetical meanings: on the one hand, the act of holding and enclosing, as you might a rare treasure; on the other, a defensive act, as in restraining a hostile power. With respect to water, both meanings apply as our 26 participating artists demonstrate. Participating artists: Margaret Cogswell, Betsy Damon, Jaime Ramiro Diaz, Bojan Gagic, Joy Garnett, Jessica Goldfinch, Bundith Phunsombatlert, Christopher Saucedo, Sally Mara Sturman |
