Segrelicious

Segrelicious is described as a “multi-media, poly-racial-gender exquisite corpse of poetry, performance, and artistic experimentation.” That tall order is maybe even possible to fill, given Shoebox proprietor Sean Smuda’s polymorphous involvement with dance, poetry, photography, iron sculpture, and even improvisational music. Each artist was directed to make work in response to a piece from another artist. On August 4 from 6-9 p.m., in both the Obsidian Arts and Shoebox Gallery spaces, the visual-arts part of the show opens. For the Soul Food gathering August 25, bring a dish, a drink, and a story or talent to share that afternoon; a physical and intellectual potluck will unroll throughout the Roberts Shoes building at Lake and Chicago. Segrelicious performances begin at 8 p.m. Call it a bohemian rhapsody … 2948 Chicago Ave. S., Suite 220, Minneapolis; 612-825-3833, www.mnartists.org/Shoebox_Gallery; www.obsidianarts.org
