Walker Art Center Public Tours in May Highlight Trisha Brown and Other Ongoing Exhibitions
May tours at the Walker Art Center offer a chance to get an up-close look at current exhibitions on view, including Trisha Brown: So That the Audience Does Not Know Whether I Have Stopped Dancing (through July 20), providing an in-depth look at the visual arts practice of an artist recognized primarily for her work in dance and opera; Richard Prince: Spiritual America (through September 14), a critical overview of the celebrated American artist’s work, organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; Worlds Away: New Suburban Landscapes (through August 17), featuring the work of 34 artists and architects who explore a variety of suburban conditions that challenge preconceived ideas and expectations about the contemporary American suburb; and of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden and ongoing collection exhibitions. Also offered in May are Spotlight Gallery Talks led by Walker curators and tour guides highlighting selected artworks or artists in the galleries.
