MILWAUKEE - The collaborative team of installation artists Lane Hall and Lisa Moline are part of an exhibition featured this summer at the Milwaukee Art Museum, 700 N. Art Museum Dr. Both artists are Visual Art faculty members at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The exhibition, "On Nature: Five Wisconsin Artists," showcases prominent contemporary artists working in various media. The artists' work examines the relationship between human beings and nature. This is the first exhibition of Wisconsin art in the Santiago Calatrava- designed galleries, and runs through Sept. 1.
Hall and Moline have created two large-scale installations designed specifically for the Calatrava space. One piece, "Gut," consists of very abstract ribbons of scanned and printed deer intestine, cascading down the walls of the Calatrava galleria space. The other, "Skin," is a radical enlargement of a tiny shed spider skin, printed at 35 feet and pasted directly on a large wall. Other artists participating in "On Nature" are quilt maker Terese Agnew, furniture maker Charles Radtke, basket maker Dona Look, and painter Nancy Mladenoff. The exhibition is organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum and curated by Margaret Andera, assistant curator.
