Explored Cuban art at the Walker Art Center: subtle resistance to the official line; inspiration to resist when our leaders are wrong.

SPCO
Headed over to the twin of Minneapolis for a Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra concert in the Ordway’s new concert hall.
Expressive Harp
Walked to the Target Atrium, Orchestra Hall, Minneapolis to watch Minnesota Orchestra musicians performing 20th century chamber music. I did not know the harp could be so expressive.
Snow Falling on Sculpture
On my walk, snow was falling on Gold Medal Park.
Prince-Themed Bicycle
Popped into the Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota to see a purple Prince-themed bicycle made locally by bike maker, Erik Noren, for the great-great-granddaughter of the bike pioneer, Ignaz Schwinn.
Thighs on Display
Minnesota Vikings fans walked past a naked-dancing-couple sculpture while I walked home with two chicken thighs from Whole Foods in my backpack.
Blithe Spirit
Our bedroom window framed the Guthrie Theater as we prepared to walk over for “Blithe Spirit.”
Renditions of a Rabbit
Admired children’s renditions of this bronze rabbit on a traffic signal control cabinet. Children climb on the rabbit, keeping it polished.
Orchestra Hall
Walked to Orchestra Hall for a Minnesota Orchestra concert.
Minimal vs. Baroque
On my cycle ride: minimal vs. Baroque. The sculpture, “Theaster Gates,” contains a statue of the patron saint of librarians and archivists.
