“Although this exhibition has already made numerous appearances throughout the state of Minnesota, I felt that it was important to bring the exhibit to Metropolitan State,” says gallery director, Erica Rasmussen. “This exhibit carries tremendous value in celebrating the contributions of the Hmong community to the agricultural economy and the cultural landscape of the Twin Cities."

The gallery reception for "We Come from the Flower" opens tonight at Gordon Parks Gallery from 6 to 8 p.m., and is located in Metropolitan State Library and Learning center. The reception will also host a gallery talk with the artist, Mike Hazard, at 7:30 p.m.

Three desperate desk workers struggle to meet the demands of the office space rat race. Can they climb the corporate ladder, or will they lose their footing and slip, rung by rung, to the depths of depravity?

Directed by Metropolitan State's Jonathan Beller, "Overtime: Men at Work" is a corporate rollercoaster ride through the typical office cubicle, where every looming deadline seems to come quicker than the one before.

"Overtime: Men at Work" premieres April 5. Performances are free.

Screenwriting professor James Byrne is the only Minneapolis artist appearing in “The Body Electric” show at @walkerartcenter. "Scale Drawing," originally created in 1975 and re-created for this exhibition, is the black outline of a man drawn on a wall with a felt-tip pen, with the figure's left hand shown on an old television screen.
