"Forward," the actual Wisconsin state motto, is perfectly fine-- inspiring, even-- but it isn't terribly reflective of the people here or the way we live; Nor is it very helpful or informative to visitors. So: WE FIXED IT! You're welcome, people of Wisconsin; we await your gracious thanks
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
LITTLE FRIENDS: MILWAUKEE'S WORST, held at Sky High Gallery in conjunction with the 2013 SGCI Conference in Milwaukee, is our tribute to all things Wisconsin. It's a personal history; an interpretation of Wisconsin iconography and motifs, as filtered through the lens of our own experience. The show features 12 new prints (plus two old favorites), a series of wood-mounted monoprints, and a set of silkscreened pennants.
We'll be leaving the state this year, and so MILWAUKEE'S WORST also functions as our goodbye. It's been oddly therapeutic for us to clear the decks of every Wisconsin-themed print idea that had ever occured to us-- to leave nothing unsaid (more or less)-- and to let the opening reception function as a big, public going-away party. If the show seems conflicted in its view of Wisconsin, it's precisely because we're conflicted, about leaving, and about everything. Thanks, everybody.
