A Place for Creativity
Wandered through Matadero Madrid, a place where creative people learn, experiment collaborate, and show. The buildings were originally the slaughterhouse (“matadero”) for the whole of Madrid.
Snow Art
Looked down from a bridge expecting to see snow and the river. Instead, I saw art.
Cuban Art
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.”
