Through a quiet sense of natural wonder, 13 artists noiselessly manipulate, cut, dissect, blur and disintegrate architecture, bodies and the landscape. Murmuring. –Chris Larson

​

Untitled 9 will mark the ninth year of SooVAC’s juried exhibition series. Untitled provides opportunities for artists working in any medium and at any stage of their career, resulting in a collection of both varied perspectives and provocative work. This year includes a little bit of everything from a hidden space for human activity and subsistence behind the gallery walls to amateur film footage of mysterious beings covered in glitter and fake blood. Constructed spaces found only in the imagination and new perspectives into landscapes seen but never fully digested unite these artists in a survey of wit and thoughtful reflection.

​

Local artist and Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota, Chris Larson, was the juror for Untitled 9 this year. Larson is an internationally accomplished artist and has received numerous honors including two Bush Artist Fellowships, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Fellowship and two McKnight Artist Fellowships.

​

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
