“I Will Follow You Into the Dark” by Megan Rye and “War Mediated” by Megan Vossler, Camille Gage, and Justin Newhall

Megan Rye’s brother supervised the regional detention facility in Fallujah and transported Iraqi detainees within the Sunni Triangle. He took more than two thousand photographs during his tour of duty. As a painter, his sister is the real deal; she used these images to make huge paintings that are for keeps. These paintings are part of her current exhibition, I Will Follow You Into the Dark.

War Mediated, the concurrent group show, is less concerned with combat than with how stories get disseminated on the home front. It includes Megan Vossler’s drawings of bands of tiny refugees filing through great blank fields of white, Camille Gage’s paintings of flag-draped coffins with blacked-out “censored” areas, and Justin Newhall’s photos of World War II battle re-enactments—works that inflect our fears and desires in interesting ways. 612-870-3131; www.artsmia.org
