The University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee Union Art Gallery is starting the semester right with an intense, brutal, and beautiful exhibit with artists Kako Ueda and Roxanne Jackson. Details Below:
Flora/Fauna
Work by Kako Ueda and Roxanne Jackson
January 29-February 26, 2010
Opening reception: Friday, January 29, 5-8pm
Gallery talk with artists: 4pm
Kako Ueda and Roxanne Jackson focus on physical nature and human nature in abstract and inventive ways. They share an interest in dualities, such as nature and culture, light and dark. In their work, the natural world is intricate, fascinating, grotesque, frightening – something to be drawn deeply into and sometimes shocked by.
New York artist Kako Ueda constructs her work from intricate hand-cut paper which references, in part, paper cutting from Japan where she was born. Minneapolis-based Roxanne Jackson works three-dimensionally with clay to form large compositions of human/animal hybrids.

For those of you in the Milwaukee area, be sure to clear your Thursday on November 19th for the opening of the show. It is guaranteed to rock! The show is being put on by the UWM Union Art Gallery (UAG). Here is their blog.
More legible details:
November 19 – December 18th
Opening reception: Thursday, November 19, 5-8pm
Gallery talk with Adam Parker Smith: Friday, November 20th, 4pm
This group exhibition looks at masculinity as represented by male artists working in forms and mediums often considered to be the domain of women. Using materials like thread, yarn and felt in practices like weaving, knitting and embroidery , these visually compelling two and three-dimensional works aim to challenge preconceptions about the subject and forms of men’s art. With a literal construction of masculinity, these fiber artists present contrasts meant to perplex and intrigue.
Artists include : Youn Woo Chaa, Robert Conger, Angelo Filomeno, Craig Fisher, Kent Henrickson, Mark Newport, Chris Niver, Adam Parker Smith, Paul Villinski, Michael Brennand- Wood, and Rob Wynne.

I’ve been having a blast at work lately transforming the UAG website which hasn’t been altered design wise in several if not more years. Its still under construction and waiting for a flood of images from our flickr account, but here is what I’ve got up so far: http://www.aux.uwm.edu/Union/events/gallery/index.html

Clark Stamm is a Milwaukee based artist whose drawings and paintings are inherently stunning in color, form, and craft. A selection of his works are currently being shown in the University of Wisconsin MIlwaukee Union Atrium space. His work will be up until the 30th, see it while you can! Here is a sample of the work on display:

Busy as the snow plows are going to be in a couple months, I’ve been cranking out a fair bit of work (relative to last semester). I’ve also been showing quite a bit more (Center St. Daze, Riverwest Artwalk, RAA Member Show) and have a couple more shows coming up this month. For gallery night tomorrow (friday) I will be showing at Mark David Gray’s studio down in the 3rd ward from 6-9pm. If you’re on facebook here is more info.
On October 23rd I’ll have a piece in the UWM Union Art Gallery Crossing Over show. There should be a lot of great work from UWM students there. Be sure to look to the right for all the info on what shows I’ve got going on or that I will get going on.

New show, coming up fast:
Movimientos: Two Generations of Chicana Artists
Opening Reception: Thursday Sept. 24, 5-8
Gallery Talk with Favianna Rodriguez:
Friday, Sept 25 4pm
In this group exhibition, contemporary artists
representing two generations of Chicana feminist
artists will exhibit an array of work that reflects pride
in their Mexican heritage as well as patterns of racial
inequality in the United States for Mexican Americans.
Exhibiting prints, paintings and installation, these
artists open dialogues about sexism, racism,
homophobia, and poverty as interlinked issues for
women of Mexican descent in the US. These Chicana
artist-activists participated in or grew out of the
Chicano movimiento of the 1960s and 70s which
sought to define a cultural and political identity for
Americans of Mexican descent.
The first generation is represented by
Ester Hernandez and the second by
Favianna Rodriguez and Melanie Cervantes.

Francoise Nielly is a french artist who is being considered for a show at the Union Art Gallery next school year. She has never shown in the U.S. so it would be exciting to have her here. I love how playful yet aggressive the colors are. The large slabs of overlapping color excites my eye. She paints with a pallette knife and that might explain the geometric qualities in her work. Very planar. Dynamic. Here is a sample of Francoise Nielly’s work:

Here is an example of a series of changes on an image, click to check out the other images that led up to it.
As one of the gallery assistants at the UWM Union Art Gallery I have to organize a show for the atrium space in the union (right in front of the bookstore). So, in collaboration with Dean Valadez I bring you the Classroom w/o Walls. This is a totally open to the public collaborative art project based online, but leaking over into the real world. Every work that someone submits will be displayed in the atrium space. There will be extra copies of each images so people can actually take down images, alter them (perhaps you draw on it, perhaps you collage it, perhaps make a sculpture out of it and take a photograph.)
I’m not exactly sure the dates of when the artwork will be put up, but sometime in early April until late in the month. Updates are coming with specifics. Note, anyone anywhere can participate and your work will be shown, it is after all a wiki. One of the major aspects of this type of collaboration is that it transcends distance and is open to almost anyone (with computer access).
