Ruthann Godollei and Mike Elko are printmakers who share a sardonic sense of humor. Godollei’s work comments on inequities, injustices, and disparities via a series of symbolic containers and household items.
Elko transforms idealized images of American life, family, and politics into sly observations on contemporary culture.
Aaron Anderson and Eric Carlson of the collective Hardland/Heartland create a multi-media, post-apocalyptic vision of the Upper Midwest. Straddling the lines between the real and fantasy HL/HL's narrative installations bend and twist with the will of viewers and participants.
