Not ones to let a political challenge go unanswered, Minnesota satirists Ruthann Godollei and Mike Elko are responding to the 2008 electoral season with a new show of "Unconventional Wisdom." Godollei creates prints that skewer current events; Elko's previous projects include the fictional magazine Practical Paranoia, a publication "for today's gullible Americans." Headlines in a 2004 issue included "Canada: Can We Really Trust Them?" and promised the results from "Our Pre-emptive Strike Readers Poll." The show runs concurrently with "Millions of Innocent Accidents," featuring mixed-media installations by the Hardland/Heartland cooperative. (Opening party, 7 p.m. Thursday 08/28, free.)
