VISUAL ARTS

Changing times

New buildings, galleries and staff changes roiled the local art scene.

Dramatic transitions marked the Twin Cities visual-arts scene in 2005 as museums and galleries opened or closed, and key staff members arrived or departed. At year's end, the area boasts one greatly expanded and one relocated museum plus at least seven new art galleries and important changes in personnel…

The year's most memorable gallery shows were: Lauren Greenfield's tough "Girl Culture" at Minnesota Center for Photography, Doug Padilla's exuberant paintings at Gallery Co., and Siah Armajani's poignant sculpture and drawings at Weinstein Gallery (through Jan. 7).
