Edge of Camp, an Aboriginal-influenced mixed-media work by Andrew Mazarol and Tynan Kerr, was the inspiration for an eponymous exhibit at the Bockley Gallery; the multi-media show includes the work of eight artists from the region, all exploring personal narratives. The exhibit opens with a reception on January 18 and will be on display through February 23. Four works included in the show are depicted below.

Minnesotan photographer Xavier Tavera has produced a large and diverse body of work since immigrating to the United States from Mexico. In Calle Lake, an exhibit opening on January 14 at Augsburg College's Christensen Center Art Gallery, Tavera documents members of the Latino community on Lake Street in Minneapolis. These photographs were selected by Tavera from among those that will be on display.

I first heard the term "sellout" while in art school during a discussion on the subject; I’m not entirely sure why we were having this discussion, but it seemed everyone was in agreement that the one thing that guaranteed sellout status was a shift in values that alienated anyone who admired you as an artist.
