Duane “Dewey” Goodwin is a Minnesota artist and sculptor who lives near Bemidji. A member of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe, Goodwin is a sculptor who primarily works in stone. He’s worked for over 50 years as an artist, including as art teacher in Bemidji. In 2012, Goodwin was a Community Spirit Award Honoree with the First Peoples Fund, which honors people for their commitment to sustaining the cultural values of Native people. His sculptures can be found across Minnesota, including along the banks of the Mississippi River and on college campuses. The sculptures portray the reality of life for Indigenous people in Minnesota, a mixture of embracing their culture and a remembrance of pain inflicted through colonization. 

Health issues have made it challenging for Goodwin to make art in recent years, and KFAI’s Joe Friedrichs spoke with the artist to find out if he is still planning to work and make art in the years ahead.

Support for MinneCulture on KFAI is provided by the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.

SUBDUCTION

Every Man his own Sculptor by Rosemary Dobson

Manav Patel, sculptor and installation artist, brings a unique creative voice to SoundCloud. A recent graduate of the University of the Arts London, his work is all about rhythm, texture, and cultural storytelling — much like music itself. Whether hand-building ceramics, welding metal for large-scale installations, or crafting immersive environments inspired by Indian traditions, Manav Patel’s art resonates with an almost musical flow.

Past projects include “Apnu Amdavad,” a life-sized autorickshaw installation exhibited at OXO London; a ceramic series reflecting Ahmedabad’s old city; and a replica Indian train carriage complete with the snacks, seating, and spirit of companionship that define the experience. His installation for Navratri at SPG London explored ritual, pattern, and celebration, inviting viewers into a sensory, almost performative space.

For Manav Patel, creativity is about connection — between materials, between cultures, and between people.

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝗼, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲? 

Well, he’s the guy who cooked up 𝗟𝘂𝘅𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗴’𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗲𝗱-𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗮 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘇𝗲 – the 𝘎𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 𝘍𝘳𝘢. But before he went full golden goddess, Nicolas Joseph “Josy” Cito was just a blacksmith’s kid from Käerjheng, 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 while 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘓𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯. 
Rebranding himself as “Claus” in Düsseldorf🇩🇪 (because why not🤷‍♀️), he dabbled in frescoes🏛️, hung out with future art stars, and somehow went from stage sets to 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿 during WWI. Quite the résumé, right? And that’s only half the saga… stay tuned for Part 2 in two weeks! 😏✨
