"I See You" 365's Saturday photographer, Sue Stirling, at a funky new cafe hanging photos for the Powderhorn365 show (opening May 1, 2010). South City Cafe is opening this week, located at 3405 Chicago Ave. S. Come see the neighborhood and check out the new hot spot for coffee in Powderhorn. Copies of volume one of Powderhorn365.com's book of photos will be available for purchase soon. I like this photo because it reminds me of one of Sue's poems (which is published in the new book!): 365 Every seventh day I explore with my camera. Fifty-two of three hundred & sixty-five days are my trust. Moments—like dots of paint speckled against a wall—at first disparate, then as more grains are added they orchestrate into a whole. Like cells held together by the boundaries of one body, these images from our neighborhood form a history of living. Those who move about daily unnoticed, are recognized by the lens; and even if the account is blurred I see you.
"Steven Kung" Steven has rehabbed a few houses on 17th Ave. recently. He also operates an artistic garden design company called, Urban Oasis. 612-799-3934
"Urban Arts Academy" This class and two teachers from the Urban Arts Academy at 39th and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis came to do an art project in Powderhorn Park. UAA is a "neighborhood-based non-profit organization that offers free and low-cost arts education, mentorships, and academic tutoring" for preschool through middle-school youth in Powderhorn, Bancroft, Bryant, and Central neighborhoods. Some of the children are guest photographers on this web site, with Bruce Silcox as their mentor. The program's annual Spring Gala fundraiser is this Saturday, April 24.
