Welcome to the 2018 Art Shanty Projects On-Ice Program!

We’re thrilled to be on Bde Unma / Lake Harriet this year – a new lake, a new city, a new community hosting us. We acknowledge that our On-Ice Program is on Dakota and Anishinaabe traditional, ancestral, unceded, occupied territories. As settlers and non-native people, we are grateful to have this opportunity to present our festival on Bde Unma / Lake Harriet.

Our mission is to foster an artist-driven temporary community exploring the ways in which relatively unregulated public spaces can be used as new and challenging artistic environments to expand our notions of art. Art Shanty Projects strives to honor the environment in which we work, to pay artists a fair wage, and to create a community of inclusivity and joy.

We’re grateful to all the artists, donors, members, sponsors and volunteers who support Art Shanty Projects’ 2018 On-Ice Program, and we thank our visitors for having an open mind about what art can be and for engaging in our creative community.

We are deeply humbled by the dedication and hard work that Art Shanty Projects’ founding members, past staff and past board members put in over the last 13 years to make this beautiful, beloved program what it is today. We hope the current iteration of Art Shanty Projects carries with it the same spark of creative experimentation that it did in 2004 with one shanty, a few artist friends and a really fantastic idea.

Warm regards and thick ice, Art Shanty Projects Board & Staff

BELOZER’EBelozer’e is a Russian folk music and dance group whose work is predominately rooted in a traditional Slavic female culture and their performances are interpretations of centuries-old traditions.

DON’T YOU FEEL IT TOO?Artists: Rae Eden, Elizabeth Fontaine, Diane Hellekson, Theresa Madaus

Don’t You Feel It Too? is the practice of dancing your inner nature in public places. Anyone can join this hybrid of flash mob, mind-body awareness practice, activism, and physical exercise. Bring your favorite music and earbuds (or borrow a pair from us), and help us create a spectacle while expanding the notion of what is acceptable in public. Benefits include stress relief, catharsis, confidence, and joy.

ENERGETIC TEA TIMEArtist: Jess Hirsch

Energetic Tea Time offers a warm cup of tea in a wooden kuksa (a nomadic drinking vessel made by the Sami people) and a contemplative walk with a partner, whether paired with a stranger or friend. Participants are invited to talk about emotions while learning about energy medicine, often derived from the flowers from different trees.

FIRE & ICE: A WINTER FLAMENCO ODYSSEYArtists: Deborah Elias Danza Española with the Coro Flamenco Street Choir

In a juxtaposition of Southern Spain and Minnesota, this combination flamenco procession, performance, and sing-along will heat up the ice with energy and festivity. The Coro Flamenco Street Choir will process around the shanties and gather to sing and dance to traditional flamenco songs. Visitors are invited to join the procession and join in the fun by doing palmas (rhythmic hand clapping), playing rhythm instruments, and singing along.

HOMOS IN HERSTORYArtist: Mr. Elvis

A Bingo Shanty “interlude” with a fun, upbeat queer herstory quiz, asking questions like: How many soldiers who fought in the Civil War were assigned female at birth, but presented themselves as male soldiers? . . . Who is suspected to be America’s first gay President? . . . and more! They’re all 100% factually based from resources and research done at the Lesbian Herstory Archives.

HUMAN-SIZED HAMSTER WHEELArtists: Willis Bowman and Karen Haselmann

Have you ever been curious why hamsters love to run in their hamster wheels? Now is the time to find out. Get inside the human-sized hamster wheel and guess if you should have been born with four feet. Guaranteed a unique ride!

IN SEARCH OF THE MIRACULOUSArtists: Bethany Lacktorin and Glenda Reed

In Search of the Miraculous is a reading and sound performance of true-life tales of the sea from Reed’s in-progress memoir about the three years she set out to sail around the world by hitchhiking on sailboats accompanied by Lacktorin’s site-specific music and sound installation.

LADY BEAR THE POLAR BEAR PUPPETArtist: Kim Ford

Lady Bear surprises and delights all who see her lumbering on the frozen lake. She loves people and enjoys being in selfies, having her nose rubbed and walking with you to visit all the Art Shanties. Come out and dance with Lady Bear!

LADY XOKArtists: Electric Machete Studios and friends

Inspired by the original Maya queen, Lady Xok bleeding from the tongue, pulled from folk roots in Latin American Nueva Cancion and American Blues, and layered with distortion, minor tones, and storytelling. Lady Xok experiments with a mixture of Indigenous instruments, rock kits, and digital sounds. Lady Xok also experiments with projections and jaguar mask work on stage creating an atmospheric audio/visual experience in the contemporary concrete jungle.

LITERARY DEV(ICE)Artist: Cole Sarar

Move between shanties and encounter hot pink signal flags emblazoned with a phone number and a word. Phone or text, and be greeted with poetry or flash fiction responding to the word you sent. Receive classic works and modern works created by local writers, and be drawn back and forth across Shanty Village to find the code word for the next poem.

OUTDOOR PAINTERS OF MINNESOTA10–20 painters perform winter plein air painting. Painters display their paintings on portable display panels and interact with visitors about the techniques, joys and challenges of outdoor painting.

PAGES FROM THE FROZEN SEAArtists: Eva Mantell and Sarah Stengle

Pages from the Frozen Sea is a collaborative, participatory book art project involving ice, photography and an experimental approach to making an artist’s book. A laminated version of the project will be on view, with “pages” from as far away places, as well as local ones. The project was inspired by Franz Kafka’s quotation: “A book must be an ax for the frozen sea within us.”

PRAIRIE FIRE LADY CHOIRPrairie Fire Lady Choir will perform a 45-minute set of their repertoire. Songs include covers from local artists Aby Wolf, Prince, The Replacements, and Jeremy Messersmith, as well as nationally-known talents Leonard Cohen, Devo, and Neutral Milk Hotel, and original compositions from choir members.

SNOWGAArtists: Yess Yoga, Lucia Yess, Tara Cantwell, Elisabeth Pletcher

At Yess Yoga, our mission is to promote healthy hearts, bodies and minds. Snowga is open to all ages and skill levels – even if you’ve never practiced yoga before. So bundle up and join us for a 30-minute yoga class. Please bring a mat if you have it.

10,000 Lakes ShantyArtists: Jared Haberer and Evan Hall

10,000 Lakes Twister is a contemporary reinvention of the classic game, with a Minnesota twist. Test your knowledge of the lakes or spin the wheel and play the game. Bring your cameras because 10,000 Lakes Twister frames fun with curious Minnesota light.

02

AtlTlachinolli (Fire & Water)Artists: Electric Machete Studio artists Rebekah Crisanta de Ybarra, Tania Galaviz de Espinoza, Reynaldo Lara, Xilam Balam

Atlachinolli is a sculptural performance space led by Latinx Indigenous art and music collective Electric Machete Studios. Atlachinolli (translation WaterFire) is an indigenous concept of central Mexico, which speaks to the urgent battle against extreme weather changes and for the protection of our freshwaters, such as Bde Unma / Lake Harriet. Electric Machete Studios, in collaboration with Indigenous artists and community members, will curate several performances centered around an ice pyramid, including Lady Xok, Las Luchadoras feminist punk collective, and more.

03

The ArchiveArtists: Ari Baum-Hommes, Amelia Foster, Clara Schiller, Claire Swanback

The Archive Shanty is a space filled with specimens and curios that spark wonder. Inspired by the displays in natural history museums, this collection can’t be easily placed in a certain time period. Its specimens represent a blend of real and imagined natural artifacts from Bde Unma / Lake Harriet, and visitors to the Archive will collectively imagine the past, present, and possible natural landscape of South Minneapolis.

BINGO! ShantyArtist: Jeremy Bue

BINGO! Shanty is bringing the bingo in as many ways possible. Hosted by various artists and performers who will each put their own spin on a giant bingo cage.

Fyr MinnesåtaArtists: Teens from Leonardo’s Basement

Fyr Minnesåta is a half-submerged plaid lighthouse. This Minnesota-themed lighthouse shanty is circled by easily controlled birds and has a surprise on the second floor. Come inside to discover what the lake looks like from above.

08

Get in Feel With Your TouchingsArtists: Gabriel Bodkin and Alex Schluender

An inner-terrestrial probe has ascended from the depths of Bde Unma / Lake Harriet. The aquatic diplomats have designed their probe to bait and study humans. They seek to understand how humans experience their environment through their sense of touch. This jaunty column has 36 hand portals of mystery!

09

The Lonely Whale ShantyArtist: Giuliana Pinto

The Lonely Whale Shanty invites guests into the belly of a special whale. This shanty is based on a true story: scientists have recorded whale calls from a single lonely whale in the Pacific Ocean for over two decades now. It sings at 52 hertz – a frequency higher than any other whale song and one that, researchers believe, cannot be heard by its fellow ocean travelers. However, the lonely whale has learned much on its solo voyage. It has secrets and ideas and feelings that most people will never know, until, of course, the arrival of the Lonely Whale Shanty.

10

Monarch Butterfly Migration ShantyArtists: Tara Fahey, Janet Groenert, Morgan L’Argent, Mina Leierwood, Terry McDaniels, Richard Parnell, Peter Schulze, Suzanne Trapp

The Monarch Butterfly Migration Shanty seeks to celebrate the life cycles of pollinators and bring us closer to the web of life that supports us all, through education, fun, and action.

11

The Notary ShantyArtists: Alyssa Baguss and Jenni Undis

The Notary Shanty (a.k.a. Notaries on Ice: The Cold Hard Truth Shanty) invites guests to consider authority, authenticity, and the magic of carbonless forms. Visitors to our office on ice can choose from a selection of pledges, contracts, and resolutions – fill out your favorite form and get a seal of approval. If you have actual legal documents, our actual legal notaries can notarize those too.

Build space generously donated by Leonardo’s Basement.

12

Phone Valet Artists: Anne Grinager and Sami Pfeffer

Phone Valet offers complimentary curbside service for your smartphone. Leave your phone with us for a bit and explore the shanties with one of our analog “apps” such as hand-drawn maps (to some secret spots) and real film cameras.

13

Revolution ShantyArtists: Cecily Spano, Megan Marsnik, and students in the REV 180 community at Southwest High School

The Revolution Shanty looks at the concept of revolution through art, photography, and poetry. Come write your own revolution poems and walk through the Minnesota Revolutionary Hall of Fame.

14

Sonic ShantyArtists: Rebecca Loyche and Jonathan Loyche

The Sonic Shanty is an instrument with the ice that visitors can play and experience how their presence there affects the lake on a sonic level. The acoustic body of the shanty resonates the sounds generated by interactions and this is mixed with a live audio feed from two hydrophones under the ice.

Build space generously donated by Squirrel Haus Arts.

20

Why Not Knit!Artists: Qian Liu and Jane Powers

The Why Not Knit! shanty provides a place for people to meet each other and converse, through the act of joining threads together – knitting, crocheting, tying knots, braiding, and even weaving with your hands with gloves on. As in quilting bees, story yarns may evolve as the threads of yarn are joined. Along with weaving threads, participants can choose to add their verse to an ongoing poem, “why not knit!”

21

Wish FactoryArtists: Rick Beddoe, Scott Haug, Susan Haugen, Yuya Negishi

Inside The Wish Factory, guests are invited to make a wish for themselves, for the universe or for the person behind them. Wishes are transformed into tokens in The Wish Factory Machine or hung on the walls for future guests to read.

22

Welcome ShantyArtists: University of Minnesota School of Architecture design-build team: BDA students Zachery Breeggemann, Emmett Breen, Noah Burson, Sarah Dhols-Graf, Josue Garcia, Timothy Goetz, Mohamed Hassan, Alden Jaakola, Liam Matteson, Jennifer Quach, Chloe Sackett, Kaitlyn Sandkamp, Abel Santos Meeker, Lali Shupare; Instructors Adam Jarvi, Samuel Clausen, Sean Wagner

At the north entrance to the village is the Welcome Shanty, an information hub for visitors to learn more about Art Shanty Projects from the board of directors. In this bright, beautiful space you can join our membership program, buy merchandise, take an interactive survey or just warm up while chatting with board and staff about all things shanty. The Welcome Shanty also serves as the locus for lost-and-found items, a first aid kit, and on-ice logistics.

15

Team Engine at Cooperation StationArtists: Ana Begej and Nat Locke

The Team Engine at Cooperation Station will be a bustling scene of fun and excitement. Choose a game that suits your group, grab your supplies from inside the shanty, and then go play! Come back and tell us about your experience on the Wall of Reflection, and then head out and do it again!

16

The Theatre of the Tiny Clandestines presented by The Winding Sheet OutfitArtists: Amber Bjork, Kayla Dvorak Feld, Kristina Fjellman, Megan Campbell Lagas, Derek Miller

The Theatre of the Tiny Clandestines is a mobile theater event. Three odd sisters and a strange ticketmistress perform 5–10 minute pieces, designed for very small audiences inside a tiny parlor, and range from eerie storytelling, very silly puppeteering, and truly bad fortunetelling.

17

The ThwingArtists: Derek Ahlberg, Jeff Berg, Paul Owen

The Thwing is a collection of four giant swings working in conjunction to create a kinetic animation of wonder and mystery. Participants are encouraged to enjoy the childhood activity of swinging and to leave their worries and cares on the ice. By swinging together, participants create the energy that brings The Thwing to life. The Thwing creates joy and wonder not only for the participant but for all who visit.

18

The Tomb of the Unknown MinnowArtists: Nicholas Maurstad, Angela Maki North, Mike Taus

The Tomb of the Unknown Minnow is a mausoleum honoring the sacrifices made by minnows throughout the year as bait for Minnesotans fishing for food and sport. By bestowing rituals reserved for our most honored dead onto a part of nature commonly viewed as insignificant, we hope to engage participants in a deeper understanding of what the natural world sacrifices for our survival and comfort.
