Carolyn Swiszcz "Minnesota Miracle"
MIYAKO YOSHINAGA art prospects
This event has ended.
For Swiszcz, whether banal or celebrated, public sites are highly personal terrain. "These are paintings of places in and around the city where I live, West St. Paul, Minnesota. About 20,000 people live here; it's a suburb of Minnesota's capital, St. Paul. Like any city, it has beauty and ugliness. Through making art, I have found a way of getting pleasure from ugly things that formerly brought me down.” Indeed, for viewers, Minnesota Miracle is like a very personal visitor's guide complete with a ”Welcome to West St. Paul” signpost, a local church to pray in, a park to stroll through, a steak house that should not be missed, and miracle of miracles, the heroic headquarter buildings of 3M with its red logo glowing against the blue Sky.
