Ben Garthus & Greg Priglmeier

Life is no
movie. We have no soundtrack. (Ok. Sometimes we do.) But we sure have plenty of background
noise — background noise and visual noise, which somehow play off each
other in a most fascinating way. Local artists Ben Garthus and Greg
Priglmeier have joined forces to bring us Background Noise,
an attempt to capture the cultural, political, and environmental
conditions of city life — "traffic patterns, animal behavior,
artificial environments and cultural changes." While Garthus focuses
more on consumption and by-products, Priglmeier explores unseen
connections to our environment.

Opening reception on Saturday, May 3rd, from 7-10 p.m. (show runs through May 31st), Rosalux Gallery, 1011 Washington Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612-803-6400; free.
