JEFF WETZIG: Check Paper Size and Direction
Location(s)
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.

The Chairs, at Pangea World Theater
Location(s)
“In a lighthouse on the edge of civilization an old man and an old woman make preparations for a grand party, during which the old man intends to deliver a message that will shake the foundations of the world. What will his message be? As their guests slowly begin to arrive, it is clear that everything is not as it seems. An absurdist masterpiece by Ionesco, The Chairs features Twin Cities favorites, Richard Ooms and Claudia Wilkins.”
