Waiting: New Works by Wing Young Huie and Susy Bielak

Written by

Two-person shows are too often arbitrarily conceived, but Huie’s photographs and Bielak’s monotypes play well off each other. In his newest series, Huie remains in familiar geographic territory (the streets of South Minneapolis) but homes in on the titular theme with images that are full of nuance. A homeless woman in one image is positioned to the side so that her shadow takes center stage; in another, a hipster decked out in white shades, white headphones, and a white-striped track jacket reaches into his white McDonald’s bag for a fry. Bielak, too, investigates the language of bodies moving through public spaces but portrays her characters from a vantage point that’s slightly above the fray (she was working in a second-story office), giving them a choreographic quality. 400 First Ave. N., Suite 210, Minneapolis; 612-332-5252; www.galleryco.net
