A Very Much More @ The Soap Factory

"A Very Much More" aka the biannual volunteer show, happened in November 2010.
I visited the Soap Factory, knowing the building, observing the state. Previously, I had a discription of luminosity. Now I profoundly THANK over 50 volunteers whom make the Soap Factory possible!!

Copy from the show:
MINNEAPOLIS-The Soap Factory's 2010 Volunteer Biennial, "A Very Much More" opened on Saturday, November 13th. The show featured a variety of exciting new artwork from emerging artists among the Soap Factory's large volunteer force. 52 individual artists and collaborative groups responded to this year's theme: "New and old, everyday and exotic, scrapped together and manufactured, a beautiful mess of things collect and gather, swapping their pasts for new purpose." "A Very Much More" showcased over 60 selected works including installation, painting, video, and sculpture.

The Soap Factory relies heavily on its volunteer force of over 300, many of whom are artists. Most Soap Factory initiatives and exhibitions, including the popular Haunted Basement, rely heavily on volunteer support, creativity, wit and sweat. The Volunteer Biennial is no exception, as it is curated, designed, organized and installed completely by a committee of volunteers.
