Curated by Chris Larson and Maria Cristina Tavera, Thirty Three Views Plus Two was an exhibition of artworks reflecting the vision, energy, and talent of 33 Twin Cities-based women and non-binary contemporary artists. On view at the old Swedish Bank Building and in four other locations across Payne Avenue, the exhibit was organized as external programming of the Second Shift Studio Space.
The exhibition was open to the public from April 26-28, 2019. Thirty artists’ works occupied the entire third floor (5000 sq ft) of the vacant Swedish Bank Building at 965 Payne Avenue, Saint Paul.
I showcased the Alphabet of Minneapolis, a conceptual alphabet based on vernacular signs throughout the city. The final result was 26 framed posters of each letter of the alphabet. View more of this projec here.
