ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING
Free Thursday Night Art Club: Art Club Music Sampling, Night 3
Thursday, January 30, 5 pm
Art Lab
Free
This winter, Art Club is warming up with new workshops, and a cash bar in the lobby so you can sip while you create.
Dip your toes into experimenting with sound through interactive music-sampling workshops. This is the third and final night of a three-part series. Each week is a continuation of learning and interacting with simple techniques for loop pedal sampling.
Join Twin Cities–based rapper Carnage the Executioner for the culminating workshop. Enjoy a professional demonstration of live music sampling, followed by group recording sessions, hosted by Carnage himself. Be part of a communal sound experiment. Participants from previous weeks are encouraged to return with acoustic instruments and DIY noisemakers.
Materials are provided and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis; space is limited. No prior registration is required for Art Club: the more you visit, the more you’ll discover.
Open Stacks and Free Films
Stop in on Thursday nights for Open Stacks and explore books, journals, and artist files with help from expert librarians. Discover a new book, research your favorite artist, or just peruse the vast collection. Located directly behind the Art Lab, the Walker’s library is open from 5 to 8 pm (no appointment necessary). The Bentson Mediatheque is always free, streaming select films and movies from the Ruben/Bentson Moving Image Collection. Choose your own adventure with our interactive menu, or sit back and enjoy a curated playlist of films.
