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.One-act plays in WinonaDaryl Lanz, owner of Chapter Two Books in Winona, is glad to see Theatre Du Mississippi's One Act Play Festival returning for a second year. Playwrights from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa submitted original work earlier this winter, and the winning four short plays will be performed together to make a performance running about two hours.The result is a grab-bag of comedy and drama by regional writers ranging from 10 to 50 minutes. Shows will be performed at the Valencia Arts Center's Academy Theatre in Winona this weekend and next, Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.  A family of artistsVisual artist Fawzia Khan of Hopkins recommends the exhibit “Reflections and Conversations: Monica Rudquist and Jerry Rudquist” at the Catherine G. Murphy Gallery at St. Catherine University in St. Paul. Assistant professor Monica Rudquist explores the relationship between her ceramic art and paintings by her late father, Jerry Rudquist (1924-2001), who taught painting at Macalester College for 42 years. On the gallery's second floor, Sophia Gibson — an honors student of Monica's — extends the legacy one step further by curating an exhibit of Jerry's portraits. The exhibit runs through March 16, with an artist talk by Monica Rudquist on March 5 at 6:30 p.m. There will also be a screening and panel discussion of the short film “The Painted Eye,” which documents Jerry Rudquist's painting process on March 12. In the East Gallery, Monica Rudquist's deconstructed and reassembled bowls, plates and cylinders reflect the shape and textures of her father's work.  “Both artists deconstruct objects and put them together in new ways to create imaginary forms and leave the marks of their hands on the works,” Khan said. Pining for the fjordsDiane Hellekson, retired writer and former art critic for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, was inspired by the mixed media exhibit “Sund: Notes from the Sea” showing at Form + Content Gallery in Minneapolis. Minneapolis artist Moira Bateman created works reflecting on her summer 2024 residency in Ålvik, Norway, and on the human impact of its fjords. The exhibit includes found objects pulled from the fjords, textiles and an audio element that immerses listeners in the sounds of the sea and underwater noise pollution. The exhibit is open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through March 8, with an artist coffee reception on Saturday, March 1 from noon to 3 p.m. Hellekson called it an intimate show that gave her a feeling of  “wonder and curiosity.” She says you have to look closely at each piece and see “What is this? Oh my gosh. This is a plastic bag, and you find out that Moira dug it out from among some rocks in a fjord in Norway, and yet, here it is in this strange, deteriorated condition on the wall of a gallery.”“And it makes you think [how] this thing probably was there for years, and yet, if Moira hadn't plucked it out, it would have kept breaking down, and all these little shards of plastic would have gone on to pollute and end up in some animal's belly. It's very emotionally affecting, and yet it's also beautiful.” 

One Act of DefianceIn this short podcast, CJ Miller shares how he steps into love and encourages listeners to take one simple yet powerful act of defiance.Start your morning with this practice:"I release fear and anxiety, for I am not in the future.I release guilt and anger, for I am not in the past.I am here, now.In this moment, I choose love, appreciation, and gratitude.I trust Creative Intelligence to guide me.I breathe. I listen. I simply am."CJ invites you to take one act of defiance—whether it's boycotting a business, reaching out to someone with kindness, or making a conscious choice that aligns with love. While we can't control the whole world, each small act empowers us to move forward with purpose.
