When Blidner last showed in Minneapolis it was selections from his “Tango Argentino: The Spirit of Buenos Aires” series—some hundred highly stylized images, appropriately doused in drama, of men and women performing the national dance of his home country. He ventured much farther for his new project, training his lens on Helsinki, London, Milan, Cologne, New York, Philadelphia, Rome, Buenos Aires, New Orleans, and other cosmopolitan centers, creating a portrait of each as “one great interior emotion put together visually, like a giant stage set connected to whomever takes part in it and registers its special character.” 1500 Jackson St. N.E., #443, Minneapolis; 612-788-1790; www.iceboxminnesota.com
