issues work by some of the worlds most celebrated contemporary art-ists. Lesser-known are the master printers, whose technical expertise allows these artists to achieve the precise effects desired in their prints and whose innovations push the boundaries of the medium. This exhibition explores the intertwined relationship between artist and mas-

ter printer through a collection of more than 20 prints including etchings, lithographs, monoprints, silkscreens, woodcuts and new technologies that synthesize digital tools and traditional ap-proaches. Contemporary artists such as Ghada Amer and Reza Farkondeh, Chuck Close, Tara Donovan, Sol Lewitt, Claes Oldenberg, Kiki Smith and James Turrell have partnered with Pace, collaborating with master printers to solve thrilling technical puzzles and challenge the boundaries of contemporary printmaking. Opening Reception: Sept. 25, 7-9pm Join Jus-tin Israels, Pace Prints master printer, as he reveals techniques and tales behind prints in this exhibition. Refreshments will be served.

EPISODE 79: NO BULLby Sherri Faye 2015

A ship is always safe at the shore - but that is NOT what it is built for. Albert Einstein

Simply Fodder For Your Next Cocktail PartyStarring: Conrad

2015 IMAGINE ART by Sherri Faye www.imagineartbysherrifaye.com [email protected]

~ The Contented, Collegiate Bull of Northeld ~

No bulls, humans, or elves were injured or traumatized

Pamplona, does that mean insane in Spanish? Just wondering since this, their world renowned event is so wildly successful, though wrought with danger. It is celebrated as if it were a major holiday - attracting thousands of self-destructive, likely slightly mad, participants every year. The media attention is comparable to the Super Bowl. Having no desire to witness a goring, I dont watch it, let alone join in the festivities. A bath in liquid nitrogen seems more pleasant. A suicide bombing mission appears safer. Okay, maybe not, but you get my point. Its not that I avoid risk taking et al. I mean, I did join the Navy, and spent over 20 years serving. I did get married. Twice. A legalized form of gambling, if you ask me. Yet, I continue to date, even dipping my toe back in the toxic pool of an ex or two - guess I needed a reminder as to why I left em to begin with! Ive had children. Now theres a risk from beginning to end. Starting with pregnancy, through all the sleep deprivation, teen years, the times that they rebel, and hate you, the constant concern that plagues a parent, ending only when we finally croak. Im even considering a little skydiving trip to London. And I recently opened a new art gallery! Clearly Im capable of risk-taking, just not involving the likelihood of impalement.

TheaterDont Drink the WaterSept. 26, 7:30pmParadise Center for the Arts, FaribaultWritten by Woody Allen, Dont Drink the Water is a cascade of comedy. This affair takes place inside an American embassy behind the Iron Curtain. An American tourist, a caterer by trade, and his wife and daughter rush into the embassy two steps ahead of the police who suspect them of spying and picture taking. Its not much of a refuge, for the ambassador is absent and his son, now in charge, has been expelled from a dozen countries and the continent of Africa. Nevertheless, they care-fully and frantically plot their escape, and the ambassadors son and the caterers daughter even have time to fall in love. Tickets: $14 members, $15 non-members, $10 students, available at paradisecenterforthearts.org.

When Matt says in his opening monologue, This is a waltz, remember, we are invited into a world where people are eggs and we have to be careful not to bang up against each other and crack our shells.

The Best of Hank and Rita: A Barroom Operetta in One ActOct. 29, 8pm The Grand Event Center, NorthfieldWritten, presented and performed by Joe Tougas and Ann Rosen-quist Fee (The Frye), this is about the final show for a duo whose upbeat, love-drenched tunes hit a brief sweet spot in the 1970s. But that was 15 years and countless scandals ago, and tonight theyre in their smallest gig yet. A request sends them off the setlist and into songs requested of each other, songs of heartbreak, revenge, lust and hope. Music has kept them together this long, but as her goodbye letter awaiting him reads, Its only music, Hank. Its only music. Tougas performs as Hank along with Ann Rosenquist Fee as Rita. The show also features Madison, Wisc., standup come-dian Dan Vierck as Danny Vee, Hank and Ritas opening act. This show has been wowing audiences at sold-out venues around the state.

The ForeignerOct. 16-18, 22-24; Th-Sa 7:30pm, Su 2pm Little Theatre of OwatonnaThe Foreigner is set in a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by Froggy LeSeuer, a British demolition expert. Froggy has brought along a friend, a shy young man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So Froggy, before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone, the fun really begins as Charlie overhears more than he should the evil plans of a sinister two-faced minister and his redneck associate. Many other damaging revelations are made with the thought that Charlie doesnt understand a word being said. But since Charlie does understand, it only fuels the nonstop hilarity and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproari-ously awry for the bad guys and good guys emerge triumphant. Directed by Kathy Rush. Tickets: $14 adults, $10 students, avail-able at the box office or 507/451-0764.

Paul Seeba 8pmTavern Lounge, NorthfieldAcclaimed singer/songwriter Paul Seeba promotes his debut album, Mitchell Yards, which was recorded at Sparta Sound in Eveleth, MN and mastered by John Golden (Chris Isaak, John Hiatt). Americana UK described it as a record full of that space, steeped in the beauty of North American music, true Americana, blues, and that white Catholic work ethic. Its veins are full of Neil Young, Chuck Berry walking hand and hand. Seebas songs involve catchy melo-dies, strong harmonies and the interplay of acoustic/electric guitar layers that definitely fall into a roots rock genre with impres-sionistic lyrics that often weave together a narrative honoring our northern heritage.Rice Street Boys 9pmRed Fox Tavern, Lakeville

The Sensational Sleepers featuring Gary Rue in BEAT BOOM Radio! 7:30pmParadise Center for the Arts, FaribaultBritish invasion is back and better than ever. In 1964, the Beatles opened up a floodgate of absolutely FAB music by groups such as the Yard-birds, The Animals, The Hollies, The Dave Clark Five, The Kinks, The Nashville Teens, The Rolling Stones, The Searchers, The Zombies and the list goes on. The Sleepers will perform songs from the Beat Boom movement (a term coined by the British press to try to stamp a style on all of this magnificent music-making), including We Gotta Get Outta This Place, You Really Got Me, Look Through Any Window, Heart Full of Soul, Shes Not There and Hippy Hippy Shake. The Sleepers give their audiences a rare opportunity to hear the songs that are so often overshadowed by the great-ness of John, Paul, George and Ringo, and all impeccably performed. After being together for 50 years, The Sleepers continue to tour. Captain Gravitone & the String Theory Orchestra 8-11pmThe Contented Cow, Northfield

Americana folk rock infused with tango, jazz and circus monkeys. The group channels

their angst-ridden superhero/philosopher, Captain Gravitone, whose super powers include time travel and gravity manipula-tion, combined with a relentless philo-sophical curiosity. With songs like Howl, Whats the Matter with Captain Gravitone?, Warm, Dark, Narcotic American Night, and I Want to BE a Philosophy Major, the group takes you on a musical adventure of cosmic proportion. Fun, sometimes moody, with humor, angst and internal reflection, the group is what you might expect if Tom Waits and Frank Zappa started a folk band. Hailing from St. Peter and Mankato, the group features Eli Hoehn on banjo, Jason Helder and Wayne Schmidt on guitars, vocalist Kelly Kroeker, percussionist Damen Price and bassist Kelly Coyle. Wonderful strange things.
