Families were enchanted at last week-end’s Free First Saturday by the marvelous ways artists explore time and space using science, sound, and technology in the exhibition The Quick and the Dead. The day was entitled ‘Magical Mysteries’ and was highlighted by a series of explorations led by the Science Museum of Minnesota, an instrument-making activity surrounded by cool sound stations designed by L.A.-based musician/artists Sarah RaRa and Luke Fischbeck (part of sound duo Lucky Dragons and the drawing collective, Sumi Ink Club), a magic show by G Sparks, and a dance sampler with New World Dance: New York.
