OX-OP Presents..Non Consensual Post Dada Constructivist Cerebral Warts @ Soo Visual Arts Center
OX-OP ARTS PRESENTS:
Non Consensual Post Dada Constructivist Cerebral Warts
Art/Music/Film Festival 2009OCTOBER 22nd- 25th • SOO Visual Arts Center
On October 22nd through 25th, SOOVAC Gallery will host a conceptual tour de force seldom seen outside the two coasts.
The large main Gallery will feature a major retrospective of two hometown Minneapolis heroes of the international flatstock design and printing world: Burlesque of North America and Aesthetic Apparatus.
The side gallery will present a bizarre opening of local artist and alternative music mogul, HAZE XXL. A multi-media onslaught, the exhibition consists of 100 individually hand-made art CD sleeves, each containing original art and individual Polaroids, along with HAZE XXL created objects d’art featured in numerous national shows including the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. The show marks the first and only release of the Halo Of Flies/Gay Witch Abortion collaboration album. Just 100 CD’s produced, and that’s it forevermore but not surprising coming from the former head of Amphetamine Reptile Records who initiated his label by originating the whole “limited edition thing in music” back in the 1980′s.
Each night of the four-day event, performance art takes on a literal meaning with live music sequestered in yet another gallery within the gallery. The musicians will be performing behind large screened windows facing the main gallery, harshly backlit so that the audience sees only silhouetted shadows and movement. Four security cameras inside the room will broadcast those performances live onto screens in the main gallery, playing with perceptions of time and space and lessening even further our distinctions between reality and the alternate broadcast reality which is far to often blurred.
The Opening Event will also offer an additional layer of altered perception, featuring the short films of renowned artist Chris Mars. Primarily known for his deeply surreal oil and pastel images, he has taken to animation
and film with all the intensity and incredible detail of his oil paintings.ART SHOWS

9pm showtimeThis is Grant’s first album in 10 years, and it’s a good one. Half of it was recorded in Montreal with members of Godspeed You Black Emperor, the other half was cut at Mike Wisti’s studio here in town. I think it sounds fantastic, and if you’re a fan of his songwriting you won’t be disappointed. The CDs will be ready in time for the show, but the vinyl will be delayed a bit — it’s intended to be a 180 gram pressing, and the pressing plant got their wires crossed and rolled out the test presses on regular weight vinyl — but what the fuck, come on down anyhow.
