Theresa Ganz, Klea McKenna, Meghann Riepenhoff
Through November 12 - Of Many Minds at Euqinom Projects. Here's your recipe for a perfect Dogpatch Saturday afternoon, no car necessary. Lunch at 'aina or Piccino or Serpentine or Just For You. The Christoph Roßner show at Romer Young Gallery (up through October 29, so hurry). A stroll through Minnesota Street Project, being sure not to miss the exhibitions at Et al. etc. Caffeine from Philz. And then a final stop at Euqinom Projects, to soak up the beauty in the current show Of Many Minds. The three artists featured — Theresa Ganz, Klea McKenna, and Meghann Riepenhoff — all find inspiration in nature (and I know McKenna's and Riepenhoff's work from Headlands, natch), but they each have truly unique practices. Ganz stitches countless individual images together into a unified whole, adding choice gestures of color that draw the eye in, while Riepenhoff's gorgeous cyanotype pieces bear the marks of the substances that have come into contact with them. There is also a stop-motion video by McKenna that utilizes her rain photograms to mesmerizing effect alongside a series of her geological rubbings. Each artist pushes beyond the boundaries of mere documentation, creating an experience that captures the wonder we seek in a mountain range or under the starry night sky.
