From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.A spring garden in ceramics Cindy Pope is a ceramic artist from Waite Park. She got a dose of early spring by visiting the ceramics exhibit “Garden Party” at the Paramount Center for the Arts in St. Cloud. Created by Stacy Larson, who is originally from Cold Spring, the exhibit features wheel-thrown and hand-carved cups and tableware that look like delicate leaves and flowers, glazed in springtime colors. The exhibit runs through March. Voices of the Asian American experienceJulia Cheng of Duluth had a chance to hear the world premiere this fall of “mOthertongue: Lived Experience in Asian America.” Soprano Jennifer Lien of Duluth performs three song cycles commissioned by Asian American women composers, accompanied on piano by Lina Yoo-Min Lee. Lien commissioned these new works in partnership with the Cincinnati Song Initiative with support from the Minnesota State Arts Board Creative Individuals grant. The duo has continued to perform these works in what Cheng refers to as “a living collaboration.” They'll perform highlights of the song cycles at the College of St. Scholastica's “Lunch With Friends” on March 25, with the full performance on March 28 at the college's Mitchell Auditorium. Julia Cheng was touched by the performance and looks forward to hearing it again.“I have to say that, as the child of immigrants from China, these songs really resonated with me,” Cheng said. “I always wondered, you know, how did they deal with the dislocation of leaving home, family, language, culture, developing new community, the wrenching loss of being separated from family? These are all things that I heard bits and pieces of in the song cycles by Melissa Dunphy and the other two composers.” Wood sculptures at Tettegouche Annalisa Buerke follows her former colleague artist Rick Love on Instagram, where she enjoyed watching his process of creating a series of sculptures now on view at the Tettegouche State Park Visitor Center in Silver Bay.The five sculptures are all made of wood — some painted, some charred — that celebrate both forests and sustainability. The works evoke the moon, the sun, a tree, a waterfall and Lake Superior. They'll be on view through March.Tettegouche State Park's Visitor Center includes both juried art shows (of which Love's exhibit was one) and an artist-in-residence program.

In this episode of the Pints and Polishing Podcast, hosts Marshall and Nick discuss the challenges of detailing in winter conditions, the importance of interior cleaning, and the evolution of cleaning products in the detailing industry. They explore the risks associated with using concentrated products and the shift away from traditional all-purpose cleaners (APCs) towards newer, safer alternatives like Revive. The conversation highlights the need for detailers to adapt to changing product quality and the importance of understanding the materials they are working with. In this conversation, Marshall and Nick delve into the intricacies of surfactants, the debate between concentrated and ready-to-use cleaners, the importance of quality in cleaning products, and the necessity of proper panel prep for ceramic coatings. They emphasize the balance between cost, time, and quality, and share personal anecdotes to illustrate the impact of these choices on business and customer satisfaction. Takeaways Ice skating in Vegas is a new experience. Winter detailing requires creative problem-solving. Focus on interior detailing during cold months.

The cost of saving on cheaper products can lead to significant losses in business. Proper panel prep is crucial for the effectiveness of ceramic coatings.

del mercat, va escoltar la conversa.En: While they were talking, Aina, a regular at the market, overheard the conversation.Ca: Sempre atenta a les coses úniques i especials, va decidir que faria

que les seves ceràmiques eren perfectament vàlides per a presentar als seus coneguts barcelonins.En: She knew that his ceramics were perfectly suitable to present to her Barcelona acquaintances.Ca: El sol va començar a baixar, i una sensació de calidesa omplia el cor d'en Jordi.En: The sun began to set, and a feeling of warmth filled Jordi's heart.Ca: Les vendes d'aquell dia no només li van donar

started to head home, but Jordi knew that this Christmas would be one of the best of his life.Ca: Els seus colors havien trobat cases noves i, amb això, ell trobava també un nou començament.En: His

Kintsugi is the traditional Japanese art of repairing ceramics with lacquer and gold dust. The idea is to highlight the imperfections of a piece and celebrate its new form, rather than hide its chips and cracks. Artist Naoko Fukumaru wasn’t initially interested in kintsugi — as a conservator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Detroit Institute of Arts and other institutions, she was focused on rendering imperfections invisible. But after the collapse of her marriage following her move to Canada, she began to appreciate the message of resilience and reinvention that are fundamental to the practice. Fukumaru’s first solo kintsugi exhibition in the U.S. is currently on display at the Portland Japanese Garden and runs through Jan. 27. She joins us to talk more about the exhibit and the message she hopes visitors take from it.
