Today's Duluth News Tribune carries a front page article entitled "Different Interpretations", which cites a recent difference of opinion over Neal Peterson's graduate exhibit in the Tweed student gallery as well as the Art Guild display case flap.
"Cries of censorship were heard this week at the University of Minnesota Duluth after a graduate art student’s exhibit at the Tweed Museum of Art was shut down for a day because of explicit content.
That came on the heels of controversy over a student art club’s display case and its use of a small nude mannequin some perceived as a child."

The UMD Art Guild is the only cross-collegiate and cross-disciplinary arts organization on the campus of the University of Minnesota Duluth. Art Guild provides an outlet for students to go to galleries, create art, show art, critique the work of peers, and educate themselves about the contemporary art world and what students are doing today. Art Guild makes annual trips to Minneapolis and Chicago for gallery hops and educational and cultural enrichment.
This blog will highlight opportunities for student artists in Duluth, Art Guild events, and it will point to cool shit. Like Fecal Face.
