Spent my lunch hour perusing the new show, Vital Culture, at
Gallery 13; the gallery that's taken over two spaces in the building behind US Bancorp Center. They used to house a hairdresser and box store and now they're filled with Buddha trees and Barbie pin ups--a huge improvement in my opinion. The husband-wife team that runs it always talks to me like an old friend when I stop in, artfully reintroducing themselves in a way that doesn't admit that they don't remember my name. I'm thinking I'll make it easier next time, and just wear my badge, if I ever find it.
A lot of the pieces they have are on their website:
Gallery 13 on Fine Art AmericaThese are the ones that sucked me in today. . . and I'm sure next week will bring more.
Godzilla! Get him!!

Blök what is your story? I wish I'd made the opening so your creator could tell me.

Not blocks for your toddler to stack!

Barbie pin ups, but not my favorite, which was a Barbie with a wine glass and some of her garments on a line.

The Buddha tree!

Close up of the paper molds.

I actually returned to the office refreshed, how refreshing!
