AIDS Memorial Quilt

  Observed annually on World AIDS Day, always the first of December, DAY WITH(OUT) ART has evolved since its inception in 1989 by members of the art activist collective VISUAL AIDS to become a day with art, a collaborative project by over 6,000 arts communities around the world which demonstrates the power of art to raise awareness of the ongoing AIDS pandemic.

  In a war against a disease that has no cure, The AIDS Memorial Quilt has evolved as our most potent tool in the effort to educate against the lethal threat of AIDS. By revealing the humanity behind the statistics, The AIDS Memorial Quilt helps teach compassion, triumphs over taboo, stigma and phobia; and inspires individuals to take direct responsibility for their own well- being and that of their family, friends and community. 

Stop by The Stream today and see these magnificent quilts!

Detailed Information About Our Next Exhibition "Loose Strife"

The first exhibition in the BMO Harris Gallery Series, Loose Strife presents a series of works created through collaboration by the poet Quan Barry and the visual artist Michael Velliquette. In classical terms, the title of the exhibition stems from a translation of the Greek name Lysimachus, the name describing one who makes war, who literally “looses battle” on the world. In this context the works in the exhibition are inspired by the brutality of Aeschylus’ ancient Greek tragedy The Oresteia, an archetypal narrative of internecine conflict.

Discussion Questions for Art 209

Question from Group A to Group B:

How is death visually represented in this show?  How do Holly and Martha represent death in their own ways and how they connect with one another?

Question from Group B to Group A:

The triptych Collinson's Rapture is depicting literature, science, and history. How are each of these elements being portrayed as a single image to the viewer?

Installing Ernest Hüpeden Exhibition

Ernest Hüpeden Exhibition

   Our inaugural exhibition in the new gallery is built on our extensive collection of Outsider Art: a collection unique among American higher education institutions. The exhibition focuses on the art work of a wandering artist, Ernest Hüpeden, who completed work in 1899 on a mural that covered every inch of a fraternal meeting lodge in then-bustling Valton, Wisconsin. Hüpeden died not long after finishing the mural. What he left behind was a rich, but scattered, trove of paintings on canvas, bottles, cabinets, and everything else he could find, which he frequently exchanged for lodging and food. Since his death, Hüpeden’s work has been celebrated as exemplary work from an Outsider Artist who created beyond the structure of the art world. Thanks to the beneficence of the Kohler Foundation, Edgewood College has been the steward of the lodge, now called The Painted Forest, since 2004. Concurrent with this exhibition, which will travel to the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in fall 2013, the gallery will offer a series of lectures from leading scholars on Outsider Art and Hüpeden himself, as well as a short film about the artist.
