Here’s what I’ve been so excited for: tonight I’m going, with my good friend Adam, to the Weinstein Gallery, where my favorite visual artist is opening a new exhibition. And I even got to interview David Rathman for the new February issue. (This hits stands on Monday but is online right now.) Rathman and I yakked a lil’ bit about this new show, Home and Away, which happens to be his first Minnesota exhibition since his cowboy drawings caused a stir at the Walker Art Center back in 2003. The subject of this new show? Football players. But not the gold-studded NFL variety. Rather, Rathman traveled to Montana to capture images of six-man games–lonely matches with the clouds and mountains ringing in. (Get a peek here.)
On Saturday I’m going to the 5 p.m. Electric Arc Radio show, of course. Then it’s off to the Kramer’s Ergot reception at Macalester.
Sunday: the St. Paul Winter Carnival and then the Harriet Island Pavilion, where Three Sticks Theatre Company will be performing A Midwinter Night’s Dream. This is the same company that, in 2005, did the fantastically physical Fringe Show Mythed. They then topped themselves at the 2006 Fringe with their comic look at bureaucracy, Borderlines.
