Found Magazine’s “Slapdance Across America” tour

It’s amazing what some people will throw away. While most of us ignore scraps of discarded paper lying on the ground, Davy Rothbart collects them, scans them into his computer, and publishes them in his magazine, Found, and on www.foundmagazine.com. Taken together, the tossed-away and lost scraps become a wonderful showcase of accidental art, offering tantalizing glimpses into the lives of unknowable strangers. Together with his brother Peter, Rothbart is motoring across all fifty states to promote his new book, also called Found. The event promises to be more comedy and performance art than art exhibition, with the brothers sharing secrets of their favorite found items, some of which they’ve reworked into songs and even a short play. Meanwhile, the local Creative Electric collective has been busy with a silkscreening project designed to increase the number of groovy T-shirts in the world; it’s worth checking out. 2201 2nd St. N.E., Minneapolis; (612) 706-7879; www.creativeelectricstudios.com
