July 23, 2014, Wednesday - Common Room Tours with the Soap Factory
Time: call for start time
Location: The Soap Factory, 514 Second Street SE
Now in it's seventh season, Common Room began as a month-long series of interactive art events, out of a refurbished art deco office at The Soap Factory. Since 2011, Sergio Vucci and Andy Sturdevant have taken the Common Room concept outside the four walls of The Soap Factory and into the city, activating public spaces and redefining our relationship with our surroundings.
Walk down any pier in Minneapolis or St. Paul, from the banks of the Mississippi River to any of the city lakes, and you'll see the young and old alike with a plastic bucket filled with fathead minnows and a fishing pole, trying their luck at landing a walleye. On this bus tour, we'll meet some of the fishermen and -women themselves, along with park rangers, naturalists, chefs, fishing enthusiasts and others, as well as visiting bait shops, seafood restaurants, national park sites, and of course a few of the city's best fishin' holes.
