"This Exit" Opens in Sioux Falls
Nov 11, 2014
Anyone who enjoys traveling South Dakota will enjoy a new exhibit at the Ipso Gallery in downtown Sioux Falls (400 N. Main to be exact, just east of the Old Courthouse Museum and its clock steeple). The exhibit is a celebration of the state’s road culture, assembled to coincide with South Dakota’s 125th birthday year. The show is called “This Exit: Last Chance."

Ted Heeren and his staff at Fresh Produce, a creative agency, are the founders of the eclectic Ipso Gallery. Part of the “road exhibit” is this Cosmos sign. Just the sight of it made Ted tipsy. -
Ted’s wife, Liz, is an artist and a good sport who willingly posed by a collection of the state’s rarest creature, the jackalope. -
South Dakota was once nicknamed The Coyote State, and the rascally beast is still the official state animal. There’s also been a bounty on his head at various times in state history. -
Plankinton educator Altman Studeny is the curator of “This Exit: Last Chance.” He persuaded numerous tourism destinations in South Dakota to share some of their Dakotiana. -
The tourist memorabilia will be on display at the Ipso Gallery through February 2015. -
The centerpiece of the exhibit is an intricate wood carving with moving parts that was carved by a native South Dakotan for Dave Geisler’s Auto Museum in Murdo. -
Believe it or not, a rare variant species of flying jackalopes has been spotted in western South Dakota.
