MKE<->LAX
Fall Gallery Night, October 19 – December 8
Opening Reception: Fall Gallery Night, Friday, October 19, 5 – 9 p.m.
Frederick Layton Gallery
- Through residencies and public programs, MKE<->LAX investigates cultural exchange between two American regions, with Milwaukee and Los Angeles as epicenters. Directed by Sara Daleiden, who is based in both Milwaukee and Los Angeles, the initiative moves between regions to question the influence of location, size, market, cultural values and other regional factors on the production of the arts and cultural identity.
- MKE<->LAX at MIAD is a platforming project in the form of an exhibition embedded within the overarching, multiple-year initiative of the same name. It is organized in collaboration with artist as MIAD Director of Galleries Mark Lawson, artist as exhibition designer and alumnus Harvey Opgenorth, artist as project consultant Jessica Steeber and artist and MIAD alumna as platforming protégé Ashley Janke.
- Through its installations, programs and residencies, this non-traditional exhibition turns the art gallery into an incubator for cultural exchange. Participants each have roots in Milwaukee and have spent time in Los Angeles, either through an MKE<->LAX residency or the commitment to relocation. They are interdisciplinary researchers who respond to fine art and commercial markets. Disciplinary arenas include visual art, performance, film, music, architecture, animation, product design, communication design and critical writing, as well as other related cultural investigations.
- MKE<->LAX is an iteration of the experimentation with gallery space started by New Exchanges at MIAD early in 2012. It is supported in part by the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L. Nohl Fund.
