The opening on Friday, July 8, was warm and warmly received. The artists were welcomed by many of Minneapolis's best who stayed to hear a passionate poetry reading by Tim. More of the show, installed, can be seen below . Stay with it and scroll down to read just ONE of the poems read on Friday night. Tim's chapbook will be published in roughly December.

By the way, that's Tim on the ladder and Travis drinking coffee. It seems about right...except there really should be a can of Coke Classic in every shot.

POEMS OF LOSS AND DESPERATION
through August 26.

.

A one night multimedia performance by The Night. The Night is a new media ensemble whose work focuses on the interrelations between sound and image, using musical improvisation and elegant computer programming that features real-time video that is changed and affected by the performance. Formed in early 2003, the group consists of an ever changing group of musicians and artists, mostly Oberlin College graduates, including sitar player Ami K. Dang, video artist John Hensel, Travis Johns, who plays bass and electronics, and others. To date, their work has been featured in such places as the 2003 Placard Experimental Music Festival, The Spaceworks Gallery (NYC) and the Allen Memorial Art Museum. They will preview their East Coast August tour with a performance here in Minneapolis at the Susan Hensel Gallery on August 3, 8pm-10pm. Free.
