Beginnings: three early-career Wisconsin artists
Alyssa Krause
Daniel McCullough
LaNia Sproles
Fine Arts Gallery
Through Apr 22
New works by Alyssa Krause, Daniel McCullough, and LaNia Sproles. Sproles's large cutout mixed media figurative collages reference philosophies of self-perception, queer and feminist theories, and inherent racial dogmas. Krause’s paintings question the parameters of perception. McCullough investigates the atmosphere of place through chance-based approaches to photography.
The Strike Was Broken: Redacted Historical Marker Rubbings
Shaun Slifer
Foundation Gallery & Virtual
Through Mar 30
Shaun Slifer makes rubbings of historical markers as a project for understanding the language of state-sanctioned history through intentional erasure and omission which mirrors that of many “official” narratives. These wax-relief rubbings are made on-site using hand-made crayons. His process is deliberately visible, public and accessible.
Kledage, sculptural objects from Gerit Grimm
Fine Arts Gallery & Virtual
Through Apr 22, 2021
A collection of sculptural objects including both her highly-acclaimed, wheel-thrown ceramic figures and her recent fabric sculpture. Grimm’s work pairs an often-whimsical subject matter steeped in folklore, referencing fairytales, fables, and princesses with impressive feats of technical virtuosity and physical scale.
