Thrifty Hipster

Nearly 40 works ranging from the 1950s to a brand-new commission do not conform to a single theme, but are united in challenging what is expected of art, from the way it looks to the role it plays in society at large. The exhibition considers “resistance” as a complex formal and political force, as is suggested by the title it borrows from a featured sculpture by Thomas Hirschhorn. Ultimately, Abstract Resistance proposes an alternative framework for aesthetically inventive, ethically engaged, and politically defiant art. The exhibition, drawn mostly from the Walker’s collection, highlights works in assemblage, collage, and photomontage by Francis Bacon, Lynda Benglis, Anthony Caro, Sarah Charlesworth, Bruce Conner, Willem de Kooning, Lucio Fontana, Hollis Frampton, Philip Guston, Rachel Harrison, Hirschhorn, Ellsworth Kelly, Paul McCarthy, Robert Motherwell, Bruce Nauman, Cady Noland, Charles Ray, Gedi Sibony, Kara Walker, Andro Wekua, and Cathy Wilkes.

You're invited to our unique public book club moderated by comedian Jeff Kamin. Featuring lively people full of liquid courage engaging in entertaining discussions on different authors, Books & Bars is not your typical book club. You're welcome even if you haven't read the book. And if you don’t like the book, you’ll still have a laugh. It’s not your mother’s book club, but feel free to bring her, too. Winner: Best Reading Series / CITY PAGES Best of Minneapolis 2009 "For those who take their books straight up - not off Oprah's list - Books & Bars is the cure. Book ended by social hours, it's a perfect opportunity to meet hip literary types - and the liquid courage doesn't hurt." --MPLS. ST. PAUL magazine, July 2008
March 9 book: The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, March 23 book: City of Thieves by David Benioff

Steppenwolf's AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY is a grand, gripping new play which tells the story of the Westons, a large extended clan that comes together at their rural Oklahoma homestead when the alcoholic patriarch disappears. Forced to confront unspoken truths and astonishing secrets, the family must also contend with Violet (played by Academy Award-winner Estelle Parsons), a pill-popping, deeply unsettled woman at the center of this storm. AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY is a rare theatrical event - a large-scale work filled with unforgettable characters, a powerful tale told with unflinching honesty.Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY is written by Tracy Letts and directed by Anna D. Shapiro.
Saturday and Sunday showtimes: 1:30 & 7:30pm

Music, food and wine, they go together like traffic and weather. So, yes, that is what we do, Sunday night.
Bring in your old vinyl records (you know who you are, you still have them) or go and visit our neighbor at Roadrunner records across the street. We change this menu every single week, so don't look online, and don't think that since you ate here two weeks ago you are going to have the same food. Yes, every week, a different menu. We also like to feature a few wines off the list in a flight. Three glasses of wine for 19.00
Come and enjoy some Sinatra + Sangiovese or Neal Diamond + Nero di Avola. We will put on the vinyl, pour you some vino and spend Sunday with Vino + Vinyl.
$1.00 Corkage Fee!!!
