Your Heart Is No Match For My Love

The gloriously ramshackle Soap Factory once again throws open its doors to Minnesota’s fairer seasons with a show about the L-word – or, to be more precise, “the emotionally disarming process of falling in love.” So you’ve been duly warned about the potential risks of some of the art. For instance, to examine Rama Hoffpauir’s specially commissioned lockets, approach one of the gallery attendants, who will be wearing them. You’ll have to “put yourself out there,” as is often the advice given to those seeking to emotionally disarm themselves in concert with another. Also on view: Brett Smith’s ziggurat mattress (temple of love?) and works from a couple dozen others. The opening-night reception hasn’t been officially designated a singles event, but we’re willing to spread rumors to that effect. 2nd St. S.E. & 5th Ave. S.E., Minneapolis; (612) 623-9176; www.soapfactory.org
