Frozen Feet Films
(23 July 2009) - Called the most fearless documentary filmmaker of the the Twin Cities, Melody Gilbert's Frozen Feet Films unearths the strangest stories in the most banal places. With locations including the world's largest mall and abandoned urban environments, Gilbert presents her characters with rare intimacy that unravels their pain, much like how the Coen Brothers treat a psychopath—the difference of course is that Gilbert's subjects aren't...

Solid Gold
(13 May 2009) - Minneapolis is usually know for being cold, but as the music scene there intensifies, it's beginning to be known for stellar indie bands like Solid Gold. We can't stop listening to the cheeky synth-pop trio and their most recent album, "Bodies of Water." The repeat-worthy tracks are sharp but full of smooth, ethereal melodies that float around and consume your head. The name Solid...

Design Collective Gallery and Boutique
(31 March 2009) - A cross between gallery and gift shop, Design Collective fosters fresh style and original designs in the Twin Cities. Located in Uptown Minneapolis, the store gives local designers the opportunity for exposure by providing them with shelf space and marketing capabilities. Keeping things "designer-centric," Design Collective remains focused on nothing but local designers and facilitates relationships within the Twin Cities' artistic community. Due to...

Red Bull Illume Photography Exhibit
(16 July 2008) - Through this Sunday, 20 July 2008, watching Minneapolis' skyline from the Stone Arch Bridge at sunset is more than nature's daily lightshow. As the sun falls, like clockwork a row of 25 eight-foot photograph cubes illuminates. A futuristic-chill soundtrack faded up as a soothing woman's voice speaks, "Welcome to Red Bull Illume." Illume is a first-of-it's-kind international traveling photography exhibit. Like a dark superhero,...

Steven Harrington
(11 January 2008) - Since we first heard about L.A.-based artist and designer Steven Harrington's work, he's apparently been busy. Some of his latest illustration recently reached my desk in the form of a beautiful holiday calendar from Daub and Bauble. Created at the Studio on Fire letterpress, Harrington's design features a proud peacock with Day of the Dead-style skulls. (Pictured above right.)Harrington, along with fellow artist Justin...

Cool Hunting Video Presents: Minneapolis Architecture
(21 October 2007) - Starting with Philip Johnson's acclaimed IDS Tower in 1972 (which is still, perhaps, one of the best looking skyscrapers in the country) Minneapolis has seen architecture play an increasingly important role in the fabric of the city. Recent buildings by Jean Nouvel, James Dayton, Frank Gehry, Cesar Pelli and Herzog & de Meuron, as well as classics by Minoru Yamasaki & Associates, Gunnar Birkerts...

Cool Hunting Video Presents: The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden
(17 September 2007) - Formerly a military training ground, the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is now part of the famed Walker Art Center and the largest urban sculpture garden in the U.S. In this video, tour guide Gary White focuses on seven pieces of the 40 permanent installations, filling in background details and some of the park's history along the way. ...

Cool Hunting Video Presents: Kemps Milk Carton Boat Races
(07 August 2007) - In this video we travel to Minneapolis to witness the 37th annual Kemps Milk Carton Boat Races. Started as a publicity stunt by a local dairy, every year teams build and race boats made almost entirely out of empty milk cartons as part of Minneapolis' annual summer Aquatennial. With pirate galleons, floating tea parties and cow-themed entries all barely afloat on Lake Calhoun, the...

(12 January 2007) - Every year for the past five years Minneapolis-based designer Ben Levitz has been making letterpress desk calendars featuring the work of five designers he hand-picks from around the globe.

20.21 at the Walker Art Museum
(29 November 2005) - Heading to Minneapolis? Check out 20.21, the recently opened Wolfgang Puck restaurant in the Walker Art Museum. Similar to the successful pairing of Danny Meyer and the MoMa (where The Modern shines as brightly as the building and the art), Puck has collaborated on the food for the Museum’s restaurant and café. Chef Scott Irestone’s (Photo credit: Tom Wallace, Star Tribune, 2005) menu is...

Chuck Close: Self-portraits 1967-2005 at the SFMOMA
(10 November 2005) - I meant to post this earlier this fall when this show (a collaboration between the SFMOMA and the Walker Art Center) opened in Minneapolis but by the time I got around to it the show was nearly over. Fortunately we all have a second chance now that this amazing retrospective is about to open at the SFMOMA. This was an important show for the...

Mill City Museum—Minneapolis
(04 February 2005) - Mill City Museum, one of downtown Minneapolis's latest architectural achievements. Rather than completely erase the existence of the former flour-processing plant that was destroyed by fire in 1991, the new museum was constructed within the remaining outer walls, now jagged and ragged but still intact. The Mill City Museum, designed by local firm Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle, is constructed of ground-to-rooftop windows and steel beams...
