Human Resources
Six years ago, it was apartment galleries. If you wanted an art space on the cheap, you purged your living room of furniture, mounted a show, welcomed the public — and basically committed to never being comfortable in your own home. In 2016, indie curators are older and wiser, so today it's garage galleries. While alley openings have become more and more vogue in northeast and south Minneapolis, none are as serious as Sadie Halie Projects. Launched in Brooklyn in 2012 by Patrick Gantert and Jennie Ekstrand (and named for her childhood dogs), Sadie Halie arrived in the Twin Cities last year, when Gantert and Ekstrand took jobs in the local ad world. This weekend, they import an installation from Loney Abrams and Johnny Stanish — a buzzy, materials-obsessed NYC-based duo who last July won praise for installing soap-and-consumer-detritus sculptures in an old marble and door factory in Queens. For "Human Resources," they're threatening to craft the show from substances favored by "those on the fringes — doomsday preppers, survivalists and people who claim to be allergic to modern technology." Sounds like a party in the bomb shelter. (Reception 7-10 p.m. Sat., 3653 25th Av. S., Mpls., sadiehalieprojects.com)
