| SOLD OUT: Cold War Kids Fine Line Music Cafe | Fri., October 10, 8:00pm | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
The Cold War Kids got their start in Fullerton, California, in 2004, quickly gaining popularity with bloggers, Pitchfork, and music heads who enjoyed their impassioned live performances of music part indie rock, part blues, and part soul. The Kids spent much of 2006 touring with bands like... More >> |

| The Magnetic Fields State Theatre | Fri., October 10, 8:00pm | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
Stephen Merritt, the most delicately depressive spirit ever to occupy the lower register, has spent his 42 years spelunking our emotional and sentimental wastelands, refining the crude maps of the heart that have been carelessly left behind by scores of songwriters who ventured out with but a...

| Victoria Marks: Not About Iraq Southern Theater |
Daily from Fri., October 10 until Sat., October 11, 8:00pm more dates/times |
Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
Can dance be a vehicle for social change, a tool for justice, or at least a means for reconciling a messed-up world with our equally complicated selves? In Not About Iraq, a piece Los Angeles-based choreographer Victoria Marks first created six years ago in response to 9/11, these questions are... More >> |

| Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sun., September 14 until Sun., January 4 | Uptown/Eat Street | |
It might not be well known, but Minnesota is actually a hotbed for architecture by 20th- and 21st-century masters. Whether it's Frank Gehry's bendy-metal Weisman Art Museum, César Pelli's Wells Fargo Center and Minneapolis Central Library, or Frank Lloyd Wright's Lindholm service station... More >> |

| From Sportswear to Streetwear The Goldstein Museum Of Design | Daily from Sat., August 16 until Sun., November 2 | Como | |
All the cool kids might think their Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars are just hip canvas shoes. Ditto for Technicolor Nike Air Force Ones. But to the well-trained designer's eye, these kicks mark a significant departure in our fashion history: the idea that clothes designed to be worn for sports... More >> |

| Hindsight is Always 20/20 Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum | Daily from Sat., August 23 until Sun., January 4 | University | |
As the Faces lamented in "Oh La La": I wish that I knew what I know now/When I was younger. Truer words are rarely spoken. In "Hindsight Is Always 20/20," New York-based artist and composer R. Luke Dubois explores this irony with a visual pun. In his 43 prints and light boxes, Dubois creates a... More >> |

| History Room: 20 Years of No Name The Soap Factory | Daily from Sat., April 19 until Sun., October 26 | University | |
A lot has changed over the past 20 years. We've gone through three presidents. Macs became cool, then lame, then cool again. Alternative music became corporatized, then turned into emo. A lot has changed over the years for the Soap Factory as well. One of the oldest galleries in the Twin Cities... More >> |

| Macbeth Minneapolis Theater Garage |
Every week Sunday from Sun., October 12 until Sun., October 26, 3:00pm more dates/times |
Uptown/Eat Street | |
Stacia Rice has played a number of heart-warming female leads in recent memory (Jane Eyre at the Guthrie, Anne Sullivan in Torch's The Miracle Worker), but this fall she threatens to trample all of that goodwill as original mean queen Lady Macbeth. She'll perform opposite Sean Haberle... More >> |

| Robert Rauschenberg: Prints/Editions 1962-78 Minneapolis Institute Of Arts | Daily from Sat., October 4 until Sun., March 15 | Uptown/Eat Street | |
Forty or 50 years on, it's hard to imagine now the manic energy of the art world in the 1960s, or the way that Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, in particular, blew the doors off of artistic sensibilities at the time. Their libertine experimentalism bridged abstract expressionism and pop... More >> |

| Statements: Beuys, Flavin, Judd Walker Art Center | Daily from Thu., May 15 until Sun., July 12 | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
At first glance, it might be hard to find a common thread between these three artists, other than hastily applying a "Minimalism" tag to their work or noting that the bulk of their work came out of the 1960s and '70s. Joseph Bueys often worked with felt and manipulated found objects,... More >> |

| Vatican Splendors: From Saint Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Swiss Guard Minnesota History Center | Daily from Sat., September 27 until Sun., January 11 | St. Paul (Downtown) | |
Remember that Onion headline a few years back when Pope John Paul II died? "Heaven Less Opulent Than Vatican, Reports Disappointed Pope." Zing. Everybody knows that the pope and his posse at the Vatican live surrounded by ornate and priceless treasures amid ancient buildings designed and... More >> |
