– In Sturgeon Bay, Miller Art Museum will present the exhibition “Factory made: artists explore the industrial scar” From June 5 to July 19. Info: millerartmuseum.org. According to a press release: With a focus on the impact of industry on the environment and the role of the ordinary citizen in changing our environment, the exhibition features the work of five distinctly different artists – Brendan Baylor , the late James Cagle, Holli Jacobson, Melissa Resch and Katie Ries. In the museum’s main galleries, 17 works by printmaker Brendan Baylor of Norfolk, Va., Feature industrial maps as they are designed over the landscapes they affect, revealing how the landscape is used and altered by the wood industry. artistic and scientific point of view. In addition to the lumber industry, ethanol and greenhouse gas production, as well as coal and fossil fuel emissions, are included in Baylor’s explorations. The artist’s large-scale assemblage of woodcuts, “50 Million Acres”, is a depiction of a Great Lakes region forest being decimated by clearcutting techniques. The work is a statement of how a historical event of 1842 reverberates today. Eau Claire painter Holli Jacobson was living in Japan at the time of the Fukishima disaster. In response, she imbues her idyllic landscapes with the dazzling colors of nuclear and industrial chemistry. Interdisciplinary artist, cultivator and associate art professor at St. Norbert College in De Pere, Katie Ries is portrayed in an interactive installation, “What You’ve Got”, with handcrafted clay seed balls that invite the spectator to take and toss a seed ball in exchange for whatever small object they have in their possession; the interaction makes the viewer a conscious and active participant in the propagation. Thursday, July 11, Ries presents as part of the museum’s Second Thursday program series, in which she will lead an exploratory Land Scouts walk around the perimeter of the museum. Ries and the participants will discuss the basics of Land Scouting and create maps based on the group‘s findings. The exhibition also includes a portfolio of photographs from the museum’s permanent collection by James Cagle (1938-2020), former professor emeritus of fine arts at St. Norbert College. Cagle was a Wisconsin artist residing in Sturgeon Bay who took inspiration from the formalist language of Modernist photography to transform familiar objects and neglected spaces into elegant compositions. The imagery selected for the exhibition features areas of pristine and functional factories and abandoned and abandoned brownfields. “Cagle’s opposing views on industrial structures remind us that we see ‘the factory’ as iconic symbols of civilization and success. While industrial environments indicate courage, ingenuity, and progress as they rotate, there is the possibility of obsolete industrial ruins. When not removed or reused, these structures can become habitat, landscape and potentially part of the fossil record of our time, ”explains Helen del Guidice, museum curator.
