Join Nina Ghanbarzadeh, Maureen Fritchen, and Wisconsin Academy staff to celebrate the opening of the exhibitions Tales of the Seated Cat and See Foam at the James Watrous Gallery. These paired solo exhibitions will be on view from November 1, 2024 through January 12, 2025.
Maureen Fritchen’s exhibition showcases the impact of consumerism on our environment. Fritchen uses industrial waste materials as her principal medium, repurposing non-biodegradable polyethylene foam (PE) used in a wide variety of packaging. While PE is technically recyclable, in practice there are very few options for collection and most PE ends up in landfills or the natural environment. The biomorphic shapes and forms Fritchen creates are beautiful and sensual, in bright happy hues of pink and turquoise. They are both alluring and disturbing.
Join us at the gallery for artist talks from Glenn Williams, Siara Berry, and Sylvie Rosenthal, artists whose work is featured in MEND: the work of repair.
