Laure Prouvost: They Are Waiting for You

At the entrance of the French-born, Antwerp-based artist's solo exhibition, there's an outdoor table positioned indoors with two oranges on it. Outside on the patio, there's an identical table with two similar oranges. The uncanny spell cast by this mirror reflection extends into the rest of the show. Journey through a darkened hallway with such objects as a glass of water and a loaf of bread perched on mini-shelves, all with accompanying, playful stream-of-consciousness signage. Eventually, viewers enter a waiting room, then a gallery where a video screen is on repeat, reminding them that they are already six minutes late and time is not real — or at least not in the mind's eye. (11 a.m.- 6 p.m. Fri.-Sat.; 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sun. and Tue.-Wed.; 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Thu. $9-$14; free for 17 and younger, and for all Thursday evenings. Walker Art Center, 725 Vineland Place, Mpls. ­walkerart.org)
