Elvejhem Building Room 160 Madison, WI 53706 humanities.wisc.edu fb.jpg tw.jpg Share The Department of Art at the University of Wisconsin - Madison is pleased to announce our 2014–2015 schedule of visiting artists. Each week during the semester, we welcome an artist, curator or critic to campus, where they present both a formal lecture and also participate in meetings with graduate students in the form of studio visits and workshops. This years group represents a wide range of perspectives and practices including from studio-based production and innovative curatorial approaches to politically engaged performance, collaboration and advanced digital strategies. In addition, this fall the Department is also hosting photographer Alec Soth and writer Brad Zellar through the Arts Institute Interdisciplinary Artists-in-Residence program. Over the course of their semester-long seminar Truth, Lies, Memory and Imagination: The Photograph As Story, a number of prominent figures related to their work will be joining us on campus (see asterisks). During the spring semester, the Arts Institute Residency program continues with Transcommunality. Transcommunality documents the work of Mexican-born New York-based artist Laura Anderson Barbata; focusing on the decade-long project she pursued with stilt-walking communities in Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, and Brooklyn. Her project highlights the vitality of the moko jumbie stilt walking tradition and demonstrates the possibility of using this storied art form as a platform for social contemporary performance, group participation and protest. All events are free and open to the public. They take place at 4:30pm in Room 160 of the Conrad A. Elvejhem Building. 2014–2015 September 10 Fulford and Shopsin* September 17 Lisa Frieham September 24 Susan Miesales* October 1 Monona Rosol October 8 David Rathman* October 15 Michael Lesy* October 22 The Goggles* October 29 Jeremiah Day November 5 Brad Kahlhamer November 12 Ginger Strand* November 19 Lori Waxman December 3 Iris Eichenberg January 28 Lauren Fensterstock February 4 Faythe Levine February 11 Clayton Colvin February 18 Sean Caulfield February 25 Dan Byers March 4 Bad At Sports March 11 Jenni Sorkin March 18 Paolo Salvigione March 25 Chris Fraser April 8 Locks and Mazurek April 15 Beuavais Lyons April 22 Bennett Simpson April 29 Roger Ricco The visiting artist program is generously supported by the Anonymous Fund of the College of Letters and Sciences at the University of Wisconsin - Madison and the Brittingham Foundation. sept29_uwmad_logo.jpg
