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 [3], 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 [4], 1011 Washington Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612-803-6400; free.
