It was during a heat wave, so we splurged on an air-conditioned hotel room and stayed the night. Also made the trip for the Marimekko show the year before (http://www.rochesterartcenter.org/exhibitions/2OG/2006/marimekko.html). RAC does great exhibitions - a compelling mix of national/international and local/regional artists - and I only wish I could get there more often! It makes for a fun and easy day trip. Oh, but now I just saw CL's comment about the Carleton College Gallery - I did go there earlier this year for the "Furniture from the Upper Midwest" show (https://apps.carleton.edu/campus/gallery/functional/).

Hey, your favorite artist only has a first national-profile show once, right? And who knows how much longer those Northwest frequent flier miles will be redeemable. (...okay, we were there for a wedding too. But that was TOTALLY secondary.) On wheels rather than wings, it was Jeff Rathermel's sculptural paper installation at Carleton College in Northfield. Not quite as far. Tara Donovan at Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art. Hey, your favorite artist only has a first national-profile show once, right?
