Does it catalyst creative expression? If so then why is our art so mediocre in Minnesota? And how engaged are the audiences? Do they rush out in search of the locally made art that this vessel of modernist truth spawns? Personally, it almost feels like a "Tomorrow Land" Disneyland morph with an Ikea souvenir shack. The "cool" walls give the place a creepiness in a sort of dated space movie set feeling and look. What is presented as art often swims in a milk-wash of staging that leaves one with a feeling of the magazine white room shoot. Cold and indifferent is the net feeling of the place. The food is good though. coyote blanco Are you sure that it is a success? Does it catalyst creative expression? If so then why is our art so mediocre in Minnesota? And how engaged are the audiences?
