We Beasties: Explorations of the Intersections Between Humans and Animals is a solo show featuring the sculptures of Minneapolis artist Kyle Fokken.
The sculptural work may at first seem playful and whimsical. Indeed, Fokken’s work is formally inspired by antique toys and folk art. Animals and machines morph into beautifully crafted fantastic beasts, alluding to science fiction and simultaneously the dream-world.
Gallery hours are 1–7 p.m., Monday to Thursday. The gallery is located at the university’s Saint Paul Campus on the third floor of the Library and Learning Center, 645 East Seventh Street.
