This somewhat mysterious exhibition, curated by Elizabeth Grady of the Whitney Museum, seeks to use the Soap Factory itself as subject and object. The grandeur and melancholy of the Factory, not to mention the deeply ingrained scent of soap and labor with which the place is imbued, have long been the best aspect of shows here; in fact, sometimes the art suffers next to the rich, dark aura of this venue. But Grady intends to use these charms in putting together this exhibition. There are other purposes stated in the prospectus (interactivity, thoughts about the power of spaces to foster interaction), but the bulk of the show, it seems, will be an improvisation with the space. 518 2nd St. S.E., Minneapolis; 612-623-9176; www.soapfactory.org
