During the Spring 2021 semester, campus access restrictions prevented us from opening our galleries to the public. Here's your chance to see many of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Art Department Class of 2021 MFA Exhibitions for the first time!
The MFA Exhibitions mark the culmination of a three-year degree program that emphasizes development of a rigorous studio art practice under the supervision of a faculty guidance committee. Exploring an inter-disciplinary approach to art making, as well as course work in art history and related fields, artists cultivate professional practices that facilitates a sustainable career in the arts.
Join us in celebrating our Class of 2021 UW-Madison Graduate professionals!

(Sub)urbia
by Conley Clark
|
|
|
|
(Sub)urbia is a multimedia, installation-based exhibition that draws upon the artist’s personal experiences to question the unspoken suppositions and expectations of gender-conformity within a society. Considering its underlying tensions and fraught history, Clark combines plaster casts, AstroTurf, video, sound, and various found objects to embellish the landscape of the suburbs with queerly-coded visuals. In this way, prevalent imaginaries of stereotypical suburban life are disrupted by an uncanny representation of the same thing.
|
|
|
|
Conley Clark is a multimedia artist whose work calls upon exaggeration, appropriation, and ephemera to challenge assumptions about identity based on visual cues and societal norms. His conceptual approach reinterprets cultural values and images to construct new meanings through a queer perspective. Theory, ideas of domesticity, craft, and kitsch come together to influence his work and personal life.

April 23 - June 20
Location: University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Education Art Gallery, Education Building, 1st Floor, 1000 Bascom Mall, Madison, WI
Between Dark and Dawn is a personal photographic exploration of an altered temporality and generational linearity of the maternal spirit. I draw on the strength of my ancestors, like mother trees who nurture and protect their young. The wild and wise of nature’s fertile landscape reminds me how motherhood is complex, diverse and extraordinary.

Please Please Please
February 12 - July 24
Artist: Professor Emeritus Tom Loeser
Location: Center for Art in Wood, 141 N 3rd St, Philadelphia, PA
Presenting imaginative furniture and works on paper by Wisconsin-based maker and designer Tom Loeser. This playful show encourages viewers to shake up their habits and interact with the environment and one another, while considering issues such as body posture and etiquette that are often taken for granted. Loeser’s work also raises a clever question: “If the furniture we sit on every day were totally different, would our lives be different, too?”
Guest curated by Glenn Adamson, Please Please Please reimagines what furniture can be by juxtaposing the artist’s furniture with his series of pyrographs and cyanotype prints. Previous venues for this traveling exhibition include the Museum of Art and Design, San Francisco, the San Diego State University Downtown Gallery, and the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft.
