The Walker Art Center presents Chris Larson: Land Speed Record on view June 9, 2016 through January 8, 2017 in the Medtronic Gallery. The exhibition is titled after Land Speed Record, the album by acclaimed St. Paul, Minnesota punk band Hüsker Dü that rose to cult status after being recorded live at the 7th St. Entry on August 15, 1981. At the Walker, Larson’s gallery environment is comprised of two films, a sculpture, a photograph, and sound. At the center of the installation are two films—one color, one black and white—exploring a group of objects that occupied Larson’s studio for two years. The items originated from the childhood home of Grant Hart, Hüsker Dü’s founder and co-songwriter, which caught fire and partially burned in 2011. The smoke-blackened contents—furniture, appliances, antiques and collectibles, auto parts, ephemera from gigs, art supplies, clothing, master tapes, musical instruments—had to be quickly cleared from the home, and Larson volunteered his studio (a repurposed industrial warehouse space) for their temporary storage.

ZIG ZAGS
at 7th Street Entry
Tuesday, 08/16/16, 7:30pm ($10)

Los Angeles based thrashers Zig Zags will be headlining the 7th Street Entry next Tuesday, touring in support of Running Out of Red (Castleface Records).
The band has previously been linked to Ty Segall so expect that sort of carefree “California” Burger Records style of music.
This is a true story, but the first time I heard the term ‘zig zag’: I was walking to my apartment in 1997 and some dude on the street asked me, “Hey man, you got any zigzags?” My default answer was “No.” then followed by “I don’t know what that is.” He said he needed it to roll weed. In case you missed it, Zig-Zag is a rolling paper used for tobacco (or whatever you want to smoke).
France Camp and Tongue Party to open.
