What you’re looking at is an example of what could very well be the world’s only known two and a half dimensional works of art. A What Weekly photographer, posing as an admirer, broke through the multiple layers of security around the Minas Compound in order to capture these rare photos of the the latest offerings from storied artist Minas Konsolas. The collection is entitled ‘Relief.’ When asked where he put the other half dimension, Minas made a shushing gesture and quietly walked away.

Part of the proceeds from this exhibition will go to benefit ‘Doctors Without Borders’ the organization rumored to have treated Minas after he was injured, as legend has it, saving orphans from a burning building in a civil war-torn, third world country where he may or may not have thwarted a coup that involved bad guys trying to overthrow good guys.

Minas piloted his helicopter into Baltimore with his wife Peggy Hoffman (no relation to Albert) in order to avoid the paparazzi stationed around the city awaiting his arrival. Once back at his headquarters, Minas probably conducted satellite interviews with members of the international press, though no one can be sure.

For security reasons, only the most notable guests were allowed to occupy the gallery while Minas and Peggy were present. Pictured here is Doreen Bolger, Director of the Baltimore Museum of Art, Deborah Patterson, celebrated artist and founder of Art Blocks a community organization that transforms neighborhoods through art, and Eric Pripstein, an internationally acclaimed art accountant.

Heather Rounds, April Rounds and artist Teddy Johnson were also on hand for Konsolas’ rare appearance. April has been trusted with awesome task of curating the film night at Minas Gallery.
