Weekend Arts Roundup: Swearing, Soap and Stuff
September 05, 2013
Marianne Combs joins Jill Riley, Jade and John Moe (filling in for Steve Seel) to talk about three shows happening in the Twin Cities this weekend.
How to Swear Like a Minnesotan — Joseph Scrimshaw's one-man show about the "nice, naughty and neurotic" aspects of Minnesota life comes back to the Bryant Lake Bowl in Minneapolis. Shows are Friday and Sunday at 7 p.m., this week and next.
Third Minnesota Biennal — Held at the Soap Factory in Minneapolis, this show opens with a reception on Saturday, Sept. 7, at 7 p.m. Curators John Marks and David Peterson have taken a non-curatorial approach to the show, allowing it to come into being through artist installations. It's a pulse check of what's happening in the Minnesota arts scene, and it runs to Sunday, Nov. 3.
The Collector — The San Diego, Calif., puppetry company Animal Cracker Conspiracy presents this show at the Bedlam Design Center in Minneapolis. The story looks at the life of a lowly debt collector who experiences a spiritual transformation while going about his work. On a larger level, the story examines the role of objects in our lives, and what owning those objects says about ourselves. Shows are Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 7 p.m.
Marianne Combs joins The Current's Morning Show for the Weekend Arts Roundup every Thursday at 8:30 a.m. Read about all the latest arts news at the State of the Arts blog at mprnews.org.
