FRIDAY, MAY 4, 5-9 PM
GALLERY NIGHT at MMoCA
The first Friday in May will offer a wide array of art-related experiences at MMoCA, in addition to a multitude of Gallery Night festivities at more than 50 venues city-wide. For MMoCA’s Gallery Night events detailed below, admission is free.
5-10 PM MMoCA OPENING: IRENE GRAU: CONSTRUCTION SEASON
Join MMoCA from 5–10 pm for the opening of Spanish artist Irene Grau’s first solo museum exhibition in the United States. This MMoCA Opening includes a talk by the artist, live music and passed hors d’oeuvres from Fresco, and the evening features the unveiling of MMoCA’s first official beer.
6:30-7:15 PM ARTIST TALK: IRENE GRAU
Irene Grau will discuss a new body of work she began during her five-week artist residency in Madison in the summer of 2017. Her plein air paintings draw attention to little-noticed aspects of the city’s environment and identify instances of monochromatic abstraction in everyday scenes. Grau describes her artistic interventions as “going out in search of painting with a camera and a pair of hiking boots on.” Seating in MMoCA’s lecture hall is limited.
8-10 PM BEER LAUNCH WITH OCTOPI BREWING
Celebrate the unveiling of MMoCA’s first official beer. Starting at 8 pm, museum guests will have the opportunity to sample the limited release of the specialty craft beer. This new project resulted from MMoCA’s collaboration with Octopi Brewing, Art & Sons, and artist Meg Mitchell, whose installation in the rooftop sculpture garden served as the inspiration for this unique partnership.
