Made in Minnesota



The centerpiece of this exhibition, curated by sculptor Wayne E. Potratz and painter Howard Oransky, is George Morrison's massive 4-by-20-foot Landscape: Wood Collage, an assemblage of 29 wood pieces that is at once humbling and exhilarating in its composition. Surrounding this work are sculptures by more than 20 artists in a variety of other mediums.

There's one in acrylic, bone, and concrete; another in diamonds, gold, and granite; and yet another made from motorcycle parts and mousetraps. Lisa Elias's metalwork is included, as are pieces by the larger-than-life Zoran Mojsilov, queen of bits and bling Judy Onofrio, and clay sculptor Aldo Moroni. The artists' aesthetic concerns are as varied as their mediums, approaches, and inspiration. In total, the show is a terrific representation of sculpture made — and celebrated — here. There will be a public panel and reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, January 23. (Pictured: Work by John Ilg)
