Opening Reception: Carmen Winant: The last safe abortion + Synchronicities: Intersecting Figuration with Abstraction

With several artists in attendance, celebrate the openings of Carmen Winant: The Last Safe Abortion and Synchronicities: Intersecting Figuration with Abstraction. At 4 PM, there will be a performance by exhibiting artist Liz McCarthy titled Imperfect Players.

Carmen Winant: The last safe abortion is the latest iteration of the artist’s acclaimed exhibition organized by the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Drawing on thousands of historical photographs from various archives and recent images captured by the artist, the exhibition focuses on the everyday, behind-the-scenes work of abortion providers and healthcare staff, with a particular focus on the Midwest.

Synchronicities: Intersecting Figuration with Abstraction is a dynamic group exhibition featuring artists Leia Genis, Sheree Hovsepian, Liz McCarthy, Laura Hart Newlon, Sondra Perry, Amy Pleasant, Christina Quarles, Heather Rasmussen, and Carolyn Salas. Through diverse media—ranging from sculpture and photography to painting and digital works—Synchronicities underlines how abstraction and figuration are not oppositional concepts, but instead serve as complementary modes of expression that can enrich and expand our understanding of the vast human experience.

Admission is free; ticket reservations are encouraged.
