Event Description: 

Bethel University’s Olson Gallery pleased to present new works by Bethel University Associate Professor of Art Jeff Wetzig.

Jeff Wetzig’s collection of prints transform their traditional roots in Japanese woodblock prints to explore the medium as a means of installation. He investigates the idea of boundaries and borders as they relate to themes such as mass communication, repetition, and fear. The delicate nature of line and color in his woodblock prints are an interesting contrast to their subject matter. His investigation of boundaries comes not only from within the content, but also through the printmaking process and the image’s unique relationship to the exhibition space.

Wetzig received his MFA from Brooklyn College. He is the recipient of a State Arts Board Grant (1999), a fellow at the MacDowell Art Colony (2007), and a founding member of Form+Content Gallery.

FORUM | Cut the Minneapolis Civil Rights Department's Complaint Investigation Unit?

By Ellen Frazel , TC Daily Planet

Should Minneapolis abolish the Complaint Investigation Unit of the city’s civil rights department? Read both sides of the argument. Then add your opinion.

“By almost any indicator, in terms of income, education, healthcare, and home ownership,” said Councilmember Robert Lilligren, “in Minneapolis, the gap between communities of color and white communities is greater than almost every city in the country. After such a robust civil rights movement in this city, that gap is still persistent, and it grows. I can only imagine that this gap exists because of discrimination.” MORE »

We’re looking for community input about the sports tournament, your experiences at the tournament, how it has changed over the years, what the gathering of Hmong from around the country and around the world means, and any other thoughts you might have about the weekend.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Background checks bar park volunteers
Minneapolis parks have recently tightened enforcement of rules about background checks for volunteers. But does the “systemic bias of the criminal justice system” mean that many African American males will be barred from serving as volunteers? We want to hear your ideas.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Background checks bar parks volunteers: Anonymous – It’s about risk management and liability. Imagine some volunteer working with the Park and Rec does something unspeakable to a child or vulnerable adult—it’s then discovered that this is part of a pattern—they’ve done this before, in a similar situation and were caught…It’s due diligence to figure out what these high-risk positions are and what the appropriate requirements should be.
