Mathis Art Gallery (3/14-5/17) DESCRIPTION:The One-Off Print: Monotypes from the UWM Art Collection \nThe monotype is a hybrid printmaking process in which ink is transferred from a flat matrix or printing plate onto a sheet of paper. In other words\, the monotype is a print form without a permanent matrix: it can only be printed once. The One-Off Print\, curated by Art History MA student Emma Erickson\, features monotypes from the UWM Art Collection produced by postwar American artists\, a time when experimental printmaking was on the rise. The exhibition highlights the versatility of the monotype\, a medium that bridges the disciplines of painting\, drawing\, and printmaking. \nWhat Is A Print? \nPrints – images made through a process of transferring ink from one surface to another – have for two millennia been rich sources of expressive exploration and crucial to the global circulation of images. Until the late-twentieth century\, most people experienced visual art primarily through prints. What Is A Print? surveys some of the major print processes represented in the UWM Art Collection\, including seminal printmakers like Albrecht Dürer\, Rembrandt van Rijn\, Francisco Goya\, and Pablo Picasso. By illuminating some of the complex technical details of printmaking\, the exhibition will enable viewers to consider the creative\, technical\, financial\, and social contexts the have shaped its history. \nExhibition run March 16 through May 14\, 2026 \nEmile H.

DESCRIPTION:Please join us as we welcome the new Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum! \nSince the dawn of civilization\, people have turned to art to make sense of the world around them. From Pliny the Elder’s account of artistic progress to Xie He’s theory of “spirit resonance” and Giorgio Vasari’s biographical narratives of artistic genius\, writers have theorized and systematized how art develops and why it matters. In 1764\, Johann Joachim Winckelmann first coined the term “history of art\,” helping to formalize the discipline and secure its place within the academy. What began as an effort to elevate the study of art eventually became a marker of cultural refinement. \nYet today\, art history — along with many related humanities disciplines — finds itself increasingly marginalized on university campuses and in public life. Programs shrink\, departments merge\, and scholarship is asked to defend its relevance. If art history is fundamentally the study of visual communication\, why has it struggled to communicate its own purpose? What is art history for? \nIn this talk\, Kim Sajet\, the Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum\, suggests that the answer lies not in defending old hierarchies or rehearsing inherited canons\, but in reimagining the purpose of studying art itself — less as a means of codifying culture or adjudicating status\, and more as a way of creating community and advancing a shared sense of global humanity. \nLecture is free and open to the public.

Humor\, it turns out\, is not only a valid way to approach this revisioning\, but also one of the best ways to highlight positive trends in American Jewish identification. Rather than relying on older “continuity-based” models of what Judaism needs to do to survive that put disproportionate pressure (and blame) on Jewish women\, acontemporary Jewish humor reimagines many aspects of Jewish life—including Jewish gender tropes—and offers younger generations a vision of Jewishness they want to embrace.\n\nJennifer Caplan is The Jewish Foundation Chair of Cincinnati Chair in Judaic Studies at University of Cincinnati. She is the author of Funny\, You Don’t Look Funny: Judaism and Comedy from the Silent Generation to Millennials (2023) and co-editor of Wit Happens: Global Jewish Humor (2026). She publishes broadly on Judaism and popular culture with a focus on gender and representation and is currently working on Unmasked: Jewish Characters in DC and Marvel. \nMade by possible by the generosity of the Taxman and Temkin families.\nCosponsored by UWM’s Departments of English and Women’s and Gender Studies. \n  URL:https://uwm.edu/letters-science/event/jennifer-caplan-funny-you-dont-look-funny-jews-comedy-and-gender/ LOCATION:UWM Golda Meir Library\, 4th Floor Conference Center\, 2311 East Hartford Avenue\, Milwaukee\, WI\, 53211\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts and Culture,Lectures Conferences and Symposiums,Public,UWM Campus Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://uwm.edu/letters-science/wp-content/uploads/sites/255/2026/02/WOV_Lecture.webp ORGANIZER;CN="Sam and Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies":MAILTO:cjsuwm@uwm.edu X-TRIBE-STATUS: GEO:43.0771478;-87.880293 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=UWM Golda Meir Library 4th Floor Conference Center 2311 East Hartford Avenue Milwaukee WI 53211 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2311 East Hartford Avenue:geo:-87.880293,43.0771478 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260313T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260313T210000 DTSTAMP:20260519T001914 CREATED:20260206T161924Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260206T161924Z UID:10017566-1773426600-1773435600@uwm.edu SUMMARY:The Vera C.

Yet its discourse is fraught with fear\, misunderstanding\, and disconnection. By blending Artificial Intelligence with more traditional artistic expression\, Generation to Generation: Conversing with Kindred Technologies cultivates new pathways for imagination while nurturing the roots of our creative inheritance\, and the always-evolving dialogue between art and innovation.    \nThis groundbreaking exhibition illuminates the intertwined evolution of humanity and technology\, inviting viewers to reconsider the relationship between humans and the tools we invent through an immersive fusion of sculptures\, prints\, electronics\, music\, movement\, and poetry\, all born from creative collaboration with AI.   \nThis exhibition is part of the Center for 21st Century Studies’ Aesthetics\, Art\, & AI series\, produced in collaboration with the Center for the Humanities at UW-Madison\, with support from the Consortium for Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI). \nDate & Time\nFebruary 12–20\, 2026\nWednesday–Fridays (2–7 p.m.)\, Saturdays (11 a.m.–3 p.m.)\nOpening: Thursday\, February 12 (5–7 p.m.) URL:https://uwm.edu/letters-science/event/generation-to-generation-conversing-with-kindred-technologies/ LOCATION:WI CATEGORIES:Arts and Culture,Faculty and Staff,Public,Students,UWM Campus Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://uwm.edu/letters-science/wp-content/uploads/sites/255/2026/01/ewaste.webp ORGANIZER;CN="Center for 21st Century Studies":MAILTO:c21@uwm.edu X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260126 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260227 DTSTAMP:20260519T001914 CREATED:20251125T161012Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251125T161012Z UID:10017560-1769385600-1772150399@uwm.edu SUMMARY:Rebellious Stripes: The American Flag in Activist Art\, 1960–2025 DESCRIPTION:The American flag originated as an act of protest. That status intensified in the second half of the twentieth century\, as protest movements have used and manipulated the flag in provocative ways. Activists and artists have continued to mobilize the flag in pursuit of a variety of objectives\, prompting intense public and legal debates about what the flag is (materially)\, what it represents (symbolically)\, and how it can or should be used. Rebellious Stripes: The American Flag in Activist Art\, 1960-2025 explores the use of the American flag in activist artworks focused on political figures\, racial equality\, anti-imperialism\, and social and economic justice. It draws primarily from the UWM Art Collection\, with additions from the UWM Libraries’ Special Collections and Archives\, and two Universities of Wisconsin faculty-artists. Collectively\, the objects in Rebellious Stripes demonstrate the ongoing battle for control of the American flag as people across the political spectrum employ it to signal a range of messages beyond ‘patriotism.\n\nThe Mathis Gallery is open from 10:30 AM – 2:00 PM M-Th and by appointment.

Historically\, the term ‘icon’ (Greek for ‘image’) is associated with Christian traditions\, aligning most notably with venerated religious figures. Today\, ‘icon’ is often used more loosely\, to refer to something that has become recognizable on a mass scale\, but the deep histories of religious imagery inevitably wend their way into iconic representations. Drawing from the UWM Art Collection and supplemented with works from the American Geographical Society Library\, American Icons invites viewers to consider what Americans choose to venerate – political and historical figures\, national landscapes and monuments\, and celebrities and consumer goods. By examining the visual products of reverence\, the exhibition demonstrates the multifaceted\, complex\, and mutable nature of American identity and the ways it is (re)defined by an ever-changing set of icons.\n\n\nThe Mathis Gallery is open from 10:30 AM – 2:00 PM M-Th and by appointment.

In 1974\, the UWM Art Collection was much like the young university itself: small\, impressive\, and growing. With this significant gift\, the artwork on campus more than doubled in number and was codified into one collection that highlighted modern art of the twentieth century. \nThis exhibition presents the personal aesthetic interests of the Rosenbergs while also considering collecting trends of the mid-twentieth century. The breadth and depth of the collection is especially significant when evaluating their decision to bequeath their collection to UWM to support teaching and learning. Major modern artists featured include Pablo Picasso\, Georges Braque\, Joan Miró\, Ernst Kirchner\, Jean Arp\, Barbara Hepworth\, Henry Moore\, Jean Dubuffet\, Alexei Jawlensky\, and more. Also presented are works by the donor\, Blanche Rosenberg\, who studied in the fine arts department here at UWM. Organized to showcase major art historical movements represented in the collection\, this show underscores the ways this donation established a strong teaching collection here at UWM and honors the legacy of these impactful donors. \nCurated by academic curator Leigh Mahlik\, exhibition runs through November 14\, 2024. The Emile H. Mathis Art Gallery in Mitchell Hall Rm 170 is open 10-4 Monday-Thursday and is free to the public.

She has received honors from the Guggenheim Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, MacDowell\, the Poetry Foundation\, and the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference. She has also led workshops\, craft classes\, and craft talks for the Indiana University Writers’ Conference\, the Minnesota Northwoods\nWriters Conference\, the Yale Young Writers’ Workshop\, and more. She is an associate professor at the University of Colorado Denver\, where she is a poetry editor for Copper Nickel. \nHer latest book of poems is “Real Phonies and Genuine Fakes.”\nWhat is illusion—a deception\, or a revelation? What is a poem—the truth\, or “a diverting flash\, / a mirror showing everything / but itself”?\nNicky Beer’s latest collection of poems is a labyrinthine academy specializing in the study of subterfuge; Marlene Dietrich\, Dolly Parton\, and Batman are its instructors. With an energetic eye\, she thumbs through our collective history books—and her personal one\, too—in an effort to chart the line between playful forms of duplicity and those that are far more insidious. \nThrough delicious japery\, poems that can be read multiple ways\, and allusions ranging from Puccini’s operas to Law & Order\, Beer troubles the notion of truth. Often\, we settle for whatever brand of honesty is convenient for us\, or whatever is least likely to spark confrontation—but this\, Beer knows\, is how we invite others to weigh in on what kind of person we are. This is how we trick ourselves into believing they’re right. “Listen / to how quiet it is when I lose the self-doubt played / for so long I mistook it for music.” \n“Real Phonies and Genuine Fakes” asks us to look through the stereoscope: which image is the real one?

In this talk\, Matthew Rarey argues that this question\, far from being a contemporary ethical challenge\, was of critical importance to Africans and Indigenous people swept up in the Atlantic traffic of ideas and lives in the early eighteenth century. Critically analyzing a series of surreptitious and visually benign objects contained or referenced in colonial archives in Brazil and Portugal\, Rarey suggests that mapping the visual culture of Atlantic slavery ethically requires engaging objects produced as challenges to\, and archives of\, their makers’ experiences of displacement and diaspora. \nMatthew Rarey is Associate Professor of African and Black Atlantic Art History and the Chair of Art History at Oberlin College and Conservatory. He researches and teaches the art history of the Black Atlantic\, with a focus on connections between West Africa\, Brazil\, and Portugal from the seventeenth through twenty-first centuries. His research looks to visual and material culture to centralize Africans’ contributions to histories of slavery\, racial formation\, religion\, and commodity exchange. His first book\, Insignificant Things: Amulets and the Art of Survival in the Early Black Atlantic\, was published in 2023 by Duke University Press. \nMatthew Rarey’s biography can be viewed at: https://www.oberlin.edu/matthew-rarey URL:https://uwm.edu/letters-science/event/insignificant-things-in-the-archives-of-atlantic-slavery/ LOCATION:UWM Mitchell Hall\, Room 195\, 3203 N Downer Ave\, Milwaukee\, WI\, 53211\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts and Culture,Lectures Conferences and Symposiums,UWM Campus Events X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240308T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240308T200000 DTSTAMP:20260519T001914 CREATED:20240128T182023Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240220T050644Z UID:10014345-1709924400-1709928000@uwm.edu SUMMARY:United We Read – Creative Writing Student-Faculty Reading DESCRIPTION:Featuring Professor Liam Callanan and graduate students Jessica Lynn Drake-Thomas\, Camilla Lee\, and Sophie Nunberg. \n  URL:https://uwm.edu/letters-science/event/united-we-read-creative-writing-student-faculty-reading-2/ LOCATION:Sugar Maple\, 441 E.

Puskar contends that there is no human activity as common as pushing a button or flipping a switch – a deceptively simple act. Far more than a technical history\, The Switch offers a cultural analysis of how reducing so much human action to binary alternatives (off or on\, one or zero\, this or that) has profoundly reshaped modern society. \nMark Goble\, author of Beautiful Circuits\, says: “Deeply ambitious and sophisticated… Puskar invites us to think more seriously about what happens almost every time we touch one of our devices and turn it on or swipe or click. From the technologies at our fingertips to the vastly larger networks of politics and language that they operate and represent\, The Switch provides a fascinating cultural history of how we have made the modern world\, and been remade in turn\, by the simplest of human actions and the connections they enable.” \nJason Puskar is author of Accident Society: Fiction\, Collectivity\, and the Production of Chance. Puskar earned a PhD in English and American Language and Literature from Harvard University as well as a MPhil in English Literature from the University of Oxford. He is a Professor at UWM.

Mathis Art Gallery. Drawing from recent donations and featuring objects of research attention\, the exhibition emphasizes the gallery’s mission at work. \nThe UWM Art Collection and Emile H. Mathis Art Gallery are distinct in their accessibility to the public and their support of graduate and undergraduate training. Historically\, art museums and collections have been shaped by relatively few people\, and have quietly carried on collecting\, researching\, and displaying works with limited public input. Recently\, art institutions and museum scholars have begun to lift the curtain. Art Works continues this new tradition of transparency. \nThe exhibit features pieces by well-known artists such as Dale Chihuly\, Andy Warhol\, and Alexander Calder. Lesser-known – but no less significant – artists including Max Arthur Cohn\, Karen Fitzgerald\, and Carlos Hermosilla Alvarez are also presented. Art Works highlights the key players that make the Mathis Art Gallery a rich resource for all. \nArt Works: Recent Donations to the UWM Art Collection was curated by Academic Curator Leigh M.W. Mahlik and features research by former undergraduate and graduate student gallery interns\, former gallery teaching assistants\, faculty\, and gallery staff. \nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the Friends of Art History\, the Max Arthur Cohn Preservation Fund\, the Emile H. Mathis Preservation Fund\, the Department of Art History\, and the College of Letters and Sciences. \n  \nPhoto Caption: Detail of Karen Fitzgerald\, Lambent\, 2005\, oil on canvas\, Gift of Karen Fitzgerald and Kohler Foundation\, Inc.\, UWMAC 2021.006.03 URL:https://uwm.edu/letters-science/event/art-works-recent-donations-to-the-uwm-art-collection-2/ LOCATION:Emile H.

It suggests that the long-established terms such as “traditionality” and ‘modernity” can no longer be seen as mutually exclusive concepts with fixed characteristics\, but rather as fluid categories that existed in the vast crucible of cultural choices – choices made available by the influence of the late Ming literati and Western civilization. It motivates us to understand how open the parameters of cultural discourse were and how accommodating the Chinese cultural repertoire was at that crucial historical moment. \nOpening reception with curator gallery talk is on Thursday\, April 13\, from 5 to 7 pm. Curated by Jingwei Zeng.\nThe exhibit remains open through May 11\, 2023\, Mondays through Thursdays from 10 am to 4 pm. Free and open to the public.

From Rembrandt restrikes to plastic souvenirs\, reproductions occupy an important chapter in an object’s biography. This exhibition explores the complex relationships between ‘original’ artifacts and their reproductions.

It will highlight the place of handcraft in the cultural diplomacy between Mexico and the United States during the sixties and bring to the fore two international exhibitions. \nDr. Dorotinsky currently serves as the project leader for Popular Arts\, an effort to create a network of scholars both in Latin American and elsewhere whose work deals with contemporary Latin American art and specifically “popular” art objects\, i.e. crafts and diseño artisanal. The purpose of the project is to critique and revise accepted categories (as well as definitions\, terms\, etc.) of these objects. Dr. Dorotinsky and her colleagues argue that these categories are politically contingent\, often exploitative\, and troublingly institutionalized.

At just eight years old\, Tina watched her father murdered in cold blood. Now a teenager\, she terrorizes her hometown of Gela\, having made it her mission to join the mafia\, an organization traditionally forbidden to women as made members. Nicknamed ’a masculidda\, or “the tomboy\,” Tina has taken charge of her own gang\, and is notorious for her cruelty and reckless disregard for societal expectations. \nPickering-Iazzi’s translation offers a fascinating look into a specific moment in queer history: a crypto-trans narrative set in a time when Italian society was incredibly conservative. A beautiful translation of a landmark literary achievement by one of Italy’s feminist icons. \nRobin Pickering-Iazzi is author of “The Mafia in Italian Lives and Literature: Life Sentences and Their Geographies” and translator of work such as the novel “Suspicion” by Laura Grimaldi and “Mafia and Outlaw Stories in Italian Life and Literature”. \nPreregistration requested and you can order a copy of “Tina\, Mafia Soldier” too. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/robin-pickering-iazzi-translator-of-tina-mafia-soldier-a-boswell-event-tickets-491821680887 URL:https://uwm.edu/letters-science/event/mafia-literature-a-discussion-of-tina-mafia-soldier/ LOCATION:Boswell Book Company\, 2559 North Downer Avenue\, Milwaukee\, WI\, 53211\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts and Culture,Lectures Conferences and Symposiums,UWM Campus Events X-TRIBE-STATUS: GEO:43.0651784;-87.8782958 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Boswell Book Company 2559 North Downer Avenue Milwaukee WI 53211 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2559 North Downer Avenue:geo:-87.8782958,43.0651784 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20230303T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20230303T203000 DTSTAMP:20260519T001914 CREATED:20230208T023137Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230208T023137Z UID:10013984-1677870000-1677875400@uwm.edu SUMMARY:Creative Writing Graduate Student-Faculty Reading Series: United We Read DESCRIPTION:Featuring students Rebecca Baumann\, Daphne Daugherty\, and Danielle Harms; and faculty member Valerie Laken.
