Earlier this year, MOWA invited ten artists who live or work in Milwaukee— Mark Brautigam, Brema Brema, Adam Carr, Portia Cobb, Mark Klassen, David Lenz, Jessica Meuninck-Ganger, Lon Michels, Keith Nelson, and Nathaniel Stern—to create a visual conversation about Milwaukee as a city of the twenty- rst century. The results are an exciting visual cacophony of diverse views and interpretations.
Three artists—Brautigam, Brema, and Carr—use photography to challenge
traditional notions of the iconic and the social hierarchy of architecture.
Klassen and Nelson nd meaning in the banal and uncertainties of
urban living. Printmaker Meuninck-Ganger and digital artist Stern have combined media to create an installation of “moving images on paper.” And Cobb and Lenz each focus on the racial challenges and inequities
of Milwaukee’s communities.
