Gallery I: Burning at Both Ends
Jennifer Bastian and Heather Rasmussen have been friends for nearly 15 years. As artists and mothers, they make work connected to the labor of the body, family and community, using a language of visual symbols to illustrate themes of discomfort and comfort-seeking.
Gallery II: Parallel Paths
Molly Krolczyk’s paintings and Rita Yanny’s mixed media pieces are displayed together in this collaborative exhibition. Their different styles are both characterized by spontaneity, color and layering. Many of these works were created simultaneously during shared studio time they call “parallel.”
Gallery III: Objects May Appear Closer Upon Reflection
Three artists trace their trajectory growing up as women, having to navigate societal expectations of perceived feminine identity at various stages. Each artist explores her own interior and exterior evolutions, costume changes and shifting roles along her journey.
Playhouse Gallery: Garbology: What We Throw Away
Forward Theater Company, Madison Arts Commission, and Arts + Literature Laboratory present an exhibition of recent work inspired by and composed from the things we discard, concurrent with Forward's production of The Garbologists by Lindsay Joelle.
Garbology is supported by City of Madison Recycling.
