Triennial Artist / Carl Corey
Location: Madison Museum of Contemporary Art
Carl Corey’s recent photographic series, Wisconsin Tavern League, speaks to the importance of the local tavern as a locus for community, interaction, and friendship. As he points out, “Many of these bars are the only public gathering places in the rural communities they serve.” Following his MMoCA presentation, Corey will discuss his Habitat series, which will be on view at the James Watrous Gallery of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, & Letters from June 22 to August 8, 2010.

Eduardo Villanueva’s art investigates objects and imagery from the visual world that are infused with nationalistic, political, religious, or social significance. For example, Villanueva’s installation for the Wisconsin Triennial addresses the symbolism of the triumphal arch. Specifically, Ilex Ita Sanctus plays with notions of sacred and profane space: “By activating a space that is usually overlooked in the gallery setting I can first bring attention to the space itself and secondly cause the viewer to reflect upon the act of entering a space.”
