WHO IS A CITIZEN?
Continuing: In an election year simmering with immigration and border issues, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum has smartly staged a show of 30 works about citizenship -- what it means and who has claim to it. The topics range from the plight of the rural poor during the Great Depression, urbanites who may or may not yet be citizens, and the role of artists as political advocates and activists. Drawn from the Weisman's collection, the show includes images by painters Jacob Lawrence and Isabel Bishop, photographers Walker Evans, Jerome Liebling and Thomas Arndt and prints by Joseph Beuys and Rockwell Kent, whose 1937 wood engraving "Workers of the World Unite!" is shown here. (On view indefinitely. Free. Weisman Art Museum, University of Minnesota, 333 East River Road, Mpls. 612-625-9494 or www.weisman.umn.edu.)
