The Water Remembers: Recent Paintings by May Stevens
On Sunday I went to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts to see the St. John's Bible. The exhibit was all sold out and so we wandered around our excellent free museum (free with the exception of special shows).
We stumbled into the exhibit of May Stevens. From the MIA's website I was expecting small and colorful water color and acrylic paintings. What I found was huge moody pieces full of light and water. Within these paintings contained writing as in script.
The script is not always legible and it is often used to highlight part of the paining. In water the script might be used to show the glimmer of the water.
The exhibit is showing through July 31st.
While I was there I was able to peek around the curtain to view the installation of another exhibit, "In The Balance". It looked very cool as in Alice in Wonderland meets Flemish Masters. The paintings are the work of Margo Selski.
I didn't see the puppets that are part of this show but they look very creepy on the website. I will be back to the MIA very soon.
The exhibit starts today and goes through Labor Day.
