PANEL DISCUSSION: ANATOMY OF AN AVENUE: NORTH, FROM THE LAKEFRONT TO PEWAUKEE
Inova/Kenilworth, 2155 N. Prospect Ave.
FREE
More than any other major thoroughfare in the Milwaukee area, North Avenue links neighborhoods, cities and counties. Beginning at the lakefront bluff, traversing the central city, continuing through Wauwatosa and ending at a dead-end turnaround in the town of Pewaukee some 16 miles from its beginning, North Avenue is a microcosm of our region. Nohl Fellow Barbara J. Miner has organized this one-hour panel discussion in conjunction with her photo essay, "Anatomy of an Avenue," which follows North and examines what unites and divides Milwaukee as a community. It is designed as a visual spur to challenge assumptions and to encourage people to get to know neighborhoods that may seem as distant as far-away countries but that are, literally, only down the street. The panel will be emceed by Joel McNally and Cassandra Cassandra, co-hosts of Morning Magazine on AM 1290 WMCS, and will include Miner and other representatives from the communities along North Avenue.

SPATIAL CITY: THE ARCHITECTURE OF IDEALISM
Opening: Friday, February 5, 2010, 6-9 pm
Spatial City: The Architecture of Idealism is an art exhibition inspired by the theoretical architecture of Yona Friedman. Friedman's work, created in the aftermath of World War II (Friedman fled his native Hungary, arriving in Paris via Israel), has influenced a generation of French thinkers and conceptual artists, who respond to his drawings as philosophical constructs worthy of exploration, explication and confrontation. With an emphasis on French contemporary art, Spatial City brings together an international, multi-generational array of artists whose work contends with idealism, utopian thinking and, in counterpoint, the cynicism that follows failed revolution and the confrontation of optimism with pragmatic reality. Beginning with Friedman's "La Ville Spatiale" drawings of the 1960's, the exhibition includes the sculpture, video and installation work of Lida Abdul, Absalon, Lara Almarcegui, Elisabeth Ballet, Jordi Colomer, François Dallagrét, Peter Downsborough, Philippe Durand, Jimmie Durham, Didier Fuiza Faustino, Séverine Hubard, Guillaume Leblon, Didier Marcel, Rita McBride, François Morellet, Sarah Morris, Juan Muñoz, Phillippe Ramette, Kristina Salamoukha, Tatiana Trouvé, herman de vries, Stephen Wetzel and others.

The work in the exhibition is drawn from the French regional contemporary art collections (the FRAC) and was developed with the assistance of Platform (Regroupement des Fonds régionaux d'art contemporain et structures assimilées) and CulturesFrance. Spatial City will visit three architecturally-rich Midwestern cities, originating at the Institute of Visual Arts (Inova) in Milwaukee (February 5 - April 18, 2010) and traveling to the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago (May 23 - August 8, 2010) and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (September-December, 2010). (Possible exhibition sites in France to be announced.)

Two simultaneous exhibitions:
May 7-August 8, 2010
JENNIFER BOLANDE
Opening: May 7, 2009, 6-9 pm
Jennifer Bolande, a veteran of the New York "Nature Morte" group of the '90s, is the subject of this museum-scale retrospective. The exhibition, curated by Nicholas Frank, will bring together work from three decades-photographs, photographic objects, and sculpture--by this late-conceptualist artist. Now based in Los Angeles, Bolande (b.1957) is a significant but under-appreciated artist. She has received far less attention than her colleagues Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, and Barbara Krueger, and her work is overdue for serious reconsideration. The form of the retrospective exhibition itself, with its juxtaposition of past and present, provides an ideal medium for Bolande. Frank and Bolande will explore the various connections, consistencies and dissonances among bodies of work and the pieces within them. The narrative they create will introduce audiences to the new work and provide them with new entry points into the older work.

May 7-August 8, 2010
CECELIA CONDIT
Opening: May 7, 2009, 6-9 pm
Now in her 60s, self-described "storyteller" Cecelia Condit has been making eccentric, highly subjective personal films that stitch together narrative and experimental impulses with aplomb. Condit's recent Annie Lloyd portrays the last days, thoughts and death of her 92-year-old mother in a searching, dignified, even playful tone. Condit, a Guggenheim Fellow, has been honored with an installation-based retrospectives at the CUE Foundation in New York and the North Dakota Museum of Art, and also film programs at the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago and at MoMA. She will be premiering a new work for this exhibition.

INOVA SCREENING SERIES (FALL)
Inova will offer an occasional screening series in its screening room.
The fall screenings are part of Andy Warhol Video & TV, curated by Thomas Schur and Carl Bogner. The Milwaukee LGBT Film/Video Festival teams up with the Milwaukee Art Museum to offer Andy Warhol Video & TV, an extended unfurling of Andy Warhol's rarely screened video work in conjunction with MAM's exhibition, Andy Warhol: The Last Decade.

Andy Warhol Video & TV will present an unprecedented opportunity for local audiences to experience the video work of Warhol and his Factory cohorts. The videos feature experiments with the then new video technology; television episodes made for the new platform of cable television; interviews and portraiture, both inadvertent and intentional; artifacts & documentation; and, most entertainingly, a series of attempts at soap opera productions. Additional screenings take place at the Milwaukee LGBT Film/Video Festival, MAM and Woodland Pattern Book Center.

All screenings are free. More information: arts.uwm.edu/lgbtfilm.
