ONLINE: Behind the Scenes at the Chazen
Sarah FitzSimons’ “Water Book” is filled with water from the Atlantic Ocean and the Rabiusa River.
Did you miss the UW-Madison faculty art show at the Chazen because back in February you thought you had, like, puh-len-ty of time to drop in before the show closed on May 10? Like maybe during the Wisconsin Film Festival? Yeah. This big show, which the UW puts together only every four years, includes art from faculty in various departments and was a huge undertaking, so it's encouraging that chief curator Katherine Alcauskas is leading a special Facebook Live tour of the 2020 exhibition while the museum is closed to the public. Hope she drops by standout pieces from Fred Stonehouse, Marianne Fairbanks, and Michael Velliquette. But it's a worthwhile log-in, regardless. The stream is live Friday, May 8, at 1:30 pm at https://www.facebook.com/

Friday, May 8 at 1:30pm: Behind the Scenes Tour at the Chazen!
Get a behind the scenes peek of the magnificent Chazen Museum of Art! Join Chief Curator Katherine Alcauskas for a special tour of the Museum’s UW Faculty Exhibition 2020 while the museum is closed to the public.
A tradition since the museum opened and in celebration of the Chazen’s 50th anniversary in 2020, the exhibition features artwork from departments across the UW-Madison campus that utilize art-making in teaching and research. Projects explore relationships between the artist’s own work and specific art works in the museum’s collection, or the artist’s own work and the museum’s public spaces and architecture.
Katherine received an M.A. in art history from Williams College, and has held curatorial positions at the Museum of Modern Art, Yale University Art Gallery and the Ruth and Elmer Wellin Museum of Art at Hamilton College. Her background in modern and contemporary works on paper is well suited to the Chazen, which is a repository for the renowned printmaking studio Tandem Press.
