Ten years ago Argentinian artist Guillermo Kuitca painted a map of the midwest onto a set of mattresses, and Minneapolis was right in the middle.

The Hijack dance duo Kristin Van Loon and Arwen Wilder join forces with New Orleans performance artist Scotty Heron for an evening of "artistic radicalism" at Open Eye Figure Theater. smithsoniansmith (this is it) poses a bunch of questions, including 'What does it mean to be radical? What is trash? What is beautiful? What is usable? And what is violent?'
