Art: Minneapolis MOSAIC Photography Commission 6/6 downtown Mpls
For the sixth annual Minneapolis MOSAIC Photography Commission, local photographer Sean Smuda created a portrait series that would speak to the diversity that MOSAIC is all about. The 20 portraits, entitled “Hopes and Dreams,” were shot around the Midtown Exchange to show its microcosm of the diversity of Minneapolis. For the series, Smuda says he asked the participants what their own hopes and dreams were, and their connection to the changes from Martin Luther King, Jr., and Barack Obama. The responses, ranging from writing, drawing, and other sourced material, were incorporated into the final portraits, which will be unveiled by Mayor R.T. Rybak. (City Center will subsequently have a complete set hanging in their halls through 2010.) The MOSAIC Festival also showcases over 40 live entertainment acts, including Latina hip hop band Maria Isa. (5:30-10 p.m. Sat. Free. Hennepin Av. between 7th & 9th Streets, Mpls. www.minneapolismosaic.com)

Lovelee Buttons presents Lookbook, Dearling Physique + To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie 6/6 at Intermedia Arts (print edition only)
By no means will this show by creative co-op Lovelee Buttons be your typical rock show. Held at the long-vacant Intermedia Arts’ black box-style theater, the show will be more akin to a performance art piece. Incorporating a variety of artistic mediums including visual art, video projections, theater, dance, and live music, the show will explore the interactions between independently-created works of art. Artwork and video by Lovelee Buttons collaborators Jesse Draxler and Casey Opstad will accompany music by electronic two-piece Lookbook, experimental act Dearling Physique, and conceptual one-man-band To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie. (8 p.m. All ages. $8-10)
