Many editors and writers have brought their love for Star Wars to the pages of Star Wars Insider magazine in its various incarnations, and deserve much thanks for their amazing work – but, sadly, in this instance, the Dark Side has triumphed…

WANDERLUST: MEET A MINNEAPOLIS SIGN PAINTER WITH AN EYE FOR DETAIL
Dan Madsen of Minneapolis-based Dusty Signs comes from a long line of sign painters that goes back as far as his great-grandfather, an original old school walldog. Madsen caught our attention with his hand-painted map for the Walker Art Center’s recent exhibition Album: Cinematheque Tangier, a project by Yto Barrada, a show documenting the cultural history of Tangier, Morroco that he completed with his friend and collaborator Forrest Wozniak. His interest in the craft recently took him all over Eastern Europe on the back of an old BMW motorcycle to document long-standing vintage signage in far-reaching countries like Sweden and Austria (apparently Vienna’s a mine for gold leaf). Peep his photos above for some of the highlights and a few shots of Madsen’s own work.

Back after a brief organizational shuffle and hiatus, CO Exhibitions reconnects to its design and respect-for-technique roots in “Sign Related,” which closes this Friday.

A Quick and Intricate History
Like most microcosms, the art world can be an intricate and interconnected web, especially from the outside looking in. When CO Exhibitions opened in 2010, I felt I had a handle on the basic makeup of the project space. Burlesque of North America (one of the premier printshops in the world) had segued its award-winning First Amendment Gallery into a larger space in the same building and would be collaborating with Permanent Art and Design Group. Along the way, Permanent became linked with XY&Z Gallery (though CO, and Burlesque, technically never were) and several local curators. So when Permanent decided to part ways with CO to establish their own offices (shuttering XY&Z), and to aid Tricia Khutoretsky in her opening of Public Functionary, many people became confused with where that left CO. If you are slightly confused (as I was), I created this graph to consult…

So when I sat down and saw a “little person,” like myself, on an episode of Star Trek, I was keenly interested. I saw how Alexander was treated differently, how it made him feel, and how he felt living in that world of the Platonians. The moment where Captain Kirk shared with Alexander what the world was like where he came from was almost as if he was speaking to me. I now dreamed of a future where I would be accepted for who I was, not how tall I was or how I looked. The Star Trek world now presented to me was one in which every human being was treasured for who they are and accepted for their uniqueness. It didn’t matter if you were tall, short, fat, skinny, blue, green or even if you had a human body – you were an appreciated member of the universe and, as such, respected and valued. At the end of the episode, the moment Kirk flips open his communicator and says, “Mr. Scott, prepare to beam us up. I have a little surprise for you,” the look on Alexander’s face and his excited smile mirrored mine at that moment watching it. As a 14-year old kid, imagining myself in Alexander’s shoes, beaming up to the Enterprise and finding a whole new world where he could be anything he wanted to be and the experiences he would have set my dream world on fire. This was a message for me.
