SHOUT-OUTS
- Gudrun Lock solo show at the Weisman Art Museum (Minneapolis)
The Nature Of Shoreham Yards is an installation envisioned by artist Gudrun Lock (BFA, MFA '07) on view in the Target Studio Gallery now – May 15, 2022. The exhibition features the in-process work, research, and explorations of a motley collective of thinkers and makers. The focus of these efforts are the buffers of an active 230-acre train and trucking facility in Northeast Minneapolis, called Shoreham Yards.
- Josh Winkler in the McKnight Fellowship exhibit at Highpoint Editions (Minneapolis)
The Highpoint Editions | McKnight Printmaking Fellowship exhibition is on view now — February 12 and features Josh Winkler (MFA ‘10) and Gaylord Schanilec. Despite never having met prior to this fellowship, their work is remarkably congruous. Each artist is an admirer and advocate of the natural world, with a particular appreciation for trees. Not only do trees often inform the content of their work, but both artists have also historically used wood as their printing matrix of choice; woodcut for Josh and wood engraving for Gaylord.

Burnet Gallery's Winter Exhibition will be on view January 29 — March 26 and includes work by staff Sonja Peterson (MFA ‘09), lecturer Isa Gagarin and Professor Emeritus Clarence Morgan.

Do you have an interest in science and/or a passion for art? UMN student group Outreach through Science and Art (OSA) is hosting an exhibition of arts and crafts inspired by or related to science.
