“What You See is What You Get” by Wendy Deschene
WHEN: Time and day, through date if applicable
WHERE: Larson Art Gallery, St. Paul Student Center
TICKETS: Free Admission

Stuffing-less Simbas sewn into eyeless teddy-bears from childhoods past and trampled lizards rising from tossed-out canvasses lay strewn on the floor of the Larson Gallery in the St. Paul Student Center. They’re a part of “What You See is What You Get,” a n exhibit centering on the theme of interactive art and the subversion of what we call “cuteness.”

WHAT: Toys on Roids
WHEN: Until Dec. 24
WHERE: Soo Visual Arts Center, 2640 Lyndale Ave S

It’s a sad day for any child when, drunk on the fortified wine of adolescence, they must round up the toys that once brought them so much joy, throw them in a box and move on to a world of lame dances and mediocre football. But no one ever really moves on; we’ll subconsciously harbor our love of Power Rangers and Barbie dolls well into senility. There will always be that unique elation that can only come from the toys of our youth.

WHAT: “India: Public Places, Private Spaces”
WHERE: Minneapolis Institute of Arts
WHEN: Oct. 26-Jan. 18
PRICE: $8 general, $6 students

India is an enigma of a country. It calls to mind swirls of hot pink silk, extravagant Bollywood musicals and frenetic music set to the pace of its crowded streets but it’s also a hotbed of political unrest and extreme poverty. Its clash of the beautiful and the developing make it as compelling as its history would suggest.

What: Brian Mark exhibition
When: Through November 15
Where: Rogue Buddha Gallery 357 13 Ave NE

It’s not often that someone creates an entirely new mode of self-expression. Most people are stuck within the confines of tradition or certain stylistic tendencies, be it in writing, film or fine art. Brian Mark , on the other hand, is one of the select few to have transcended convention, using an innovative method of pouring acid on stainless steel. This bold medium allows for an experience that is wholly unique and deeply mesmerizing.

Brian Mark’s inimitable acid on steel works are powerful portrayals of the human spirit
