चांदोबा’, pronounced Chandoba, is an affectionate way of addressing the Moon in Marathi, mainly present in a popular nursery rhyme ‘चांदोबा चांदोबा भागलास का?’ (Dear Moon, have you run away?)

We invite you to the opening reception of Resident Artist Roshan Ganu’s exhibition ‘चांदोबा : A Trip Into The Moon’ on May 21, 2022, between 6–8 pm. New video work by the artist created during the past year at the residency, will be on display.

“The Moon reflects light, is a symbol of routine, of being grounded and somebody I can depend on. Chandoba is hope and it has been a mesmerizing presence and a grounding force during times of isolation as a foreigner during the Minnesotan Winter, in times before and during the pandemic.”

–Roshan Ganu

Join us for Mountain Theatre, a new solo exhibition by current Resident Artist Galilee Peaches!

In this new exhibition, Galilee Peaches considers the subtle and abstract theatrics of our daily life. The works reflect and mimic each other as themes and gestures are repeated and developed across media. Each image and sculpture lingers on the implication and sensation of touch. Mountain Theatre is not a destination. It is a suggestion, an imagined place, a distant stage. 

The opening reception will be at Second Shift Studio on April 16th from 5-8pm. There will be a short performance of improvised music at 6:30 by Michelle Kinney, Ivan Cunningham and Charlie Lincoln. 

Gallery hours are by appointment only.

One of the "most versatile, prolific and intriguing composers working under the vast new-music dome" (The Washington Post), Molly Joyce's Perspective is an ongoing multimedia project featuring words and stories of disabled interviewees set within a complementary soundscape. Joyce engaged with the Twin Cities' multifaceted disability community, and produced a winter iteration of the project—exploring concepts of darkness, resilience, isolation, restraint, and more. Interviewees included legendary disability activists local to the area: musician Gaelynn Lea; storyteller Kevin Kling; yoga teacher Matthew Sanford; and connections with local disability groups the Self-Advocacy Advisory Committee of The Arc, Dreamland Arts, and Interact Center.
