Fall 2023 Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA) Newsletter

FALL 2023

CURRENT EXHIBITIONS
FEDERICO URIBE
METAMORPHOSIS | METAMORFOSIS
State Street Gallery, The Shop, and the Lobby
September 30, 2023–May 26, 2024
2
MMoCA presents Metamorphosis | Metamorfosis,
featuring the Colombian-born, Miamibased
artist Federico Uribe’s magical, colorful,
and sculptural menagerie of plants and animals
made of ordinary materials. Multi-colored
shotgun casings and golden, varying caliber
bullets are brought together to form a lion;
saddles and horseshoes are fashioned into a
horse; and scissors, zip ties, and wool become
a sheep.
Uribe fills a former MMoCA office space adjacent
to The Shop with his magical ecosystem
depicting the flora and fauna found in a coral
reef. A farm scene and a family of immigrants
are among the worlds in which visitors can
become immersed.
One might think that Uribe intends to alert
viewers to the exploitation of animals and the
environment. But, instead, Uribe aims to use
everyday and sometimes provocative materials
to challenge associations; the goal is against the
grain and utopian—or, as he explains, to “make
people happy”—in spite of preconceived connotations.
Uribe shape-shifts feelings of sorrow,
rage, and despair to create positive, immersive
environments.
Metamorphosis | Metamorfosis is Guest

SAVING CORAL REEFS FROM CLIMATE
CHANGE THROUGH SCIENCE AND ART
Saturday, October 22 • 2–3 PM
MMoCA Lecture Hall
At first look, Federico’s Uribe’s Plastic
Reef (2018-2023) appears to be an underwater
world filled with corals, mussels,
and schools of fish. However, everything
is created and replicated using thousands
of pieces of upcycled plastic carefully
cut, dyed, and arranged. Discarded plastic
bottles, cutlery, flip flops, and other
plastic detritus that highlights the damage
done to the oceans by pollution.
Pupa Gilbert is a Professor of Physics at
the University of Wisconsin-Madison and
a visiting faculty scientist at the Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory.

FLOYD NEWSUM
Evolution of Sight
Main Galleries • On view through October 8
Featuring works created over the past 50 years,
Floyd Newsum: Evolution of Sight offers opportunities
to look closely and explore the personalized
signs and imagery utilized throughout Newsum’s
artistic career. Each work captures a deeply personal
history of the artist, with family photographs
and symbols veiled with richly layered colors and
textures that create tactile surfaces. When placed
in context with each other, themes of community,
family, spirituality, and transcendence emerge.
AVA WANBLI
Sertraline Dolls
Imprint Gallery • On view through October 8
RECOLLECT
Sam Gilliam
Henry Street Gallery
On view through March 3, 2024
For over forty years, Sam Gilliam traveled between
his home in Washington, D.C., and Madison every
summer. Each trip was marked by a whirlwind of
artistic activity as well as friendship, mentorship,
and transformation.
Sertraline Dolls is a first-person, single-player
video game in which the player encounters
multiple representations of the artist’s body
taken from 3D scans that include various poses,
guises, and personas. Visitors encounter these
renderings as they complete tasks on each of the
four levels, collecting various objects needed to
move on to the next level.
The work reflects on the complexities of what
it means to be a trans woman in sex work, providing
a meditation on self-production through
sexual expression and consumption of the body.
RECOLLECT: Sam Gilliam invites visitors to celebrate
the connections found in his art and through
his art. Guided by stories shared by those who
knew Gilliam, the exhibition is a meditation on individual and extremely personal ties to the artist and
his works. The show is an opportunity to reflect on the innovative production of an internationally recognized
artist and his impact on the development of Madison, Wisconsin’s creative culture.

UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
imaginary i
Main Galleries • November 10, 2023–April 7, 2024
imaginary i compares how artists and mathematicians
utilize constructs of the imaginary,
or complex numbers, to envision the future
and reclaim, retrace, and reveal past patterns.
When examining MMoCA’s collecting patterns,
there emerges a history of acquisitions that
dovetails with explorations of science and math.
Together, art, math, and science explore and
seek out unknown worlds and concepts projecting
future and undiscovered realities. Artists
utilizing mathematical iterative processes, such
as Charles Gaines, those exploring modeling
the infinite, such as Bruce Conner, and Erika
Blumenfeld, who reflects the scientific realm,
reveal new ways of looking that open dialogues
on potentialities.
Pairing works from the MMoCA collection
with contemporary artists engaged in similar
pursuits, the exhibition postulates that science,
technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics
(STEAM), have coalesced within the collection
for the last half-century. Further research into
the history of donors and the relationship with
the University of Wisconsin-Madison infers an
inherent interest in seeking out the mathematical
and scientific in art. For example, renowned
mathematician and professor at UW-Madison

44 x 45 inches. Gift of Nancy Mladenoff and J.J. Murphy.
Collection of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art.
Rudolph Langer provided the founding gift of
artwork that established MMoCA’s collection.
Complemented by humanities-based programming,
collaboration with K-12 educators, and
onsite activities for families in the Learning
and Activity Centers, the exhibition will utilize
data visualization techniques to develop conversations
around the vital role of the arts and
humanities in conjunction with science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

IN MEMORIAM
A TRIBUTE TO MARIAN BOLZ,
1929-2023
The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art has suffered
a great loss in the passing of longtime Trustee and friend,
Marian Bolz. Knowing Marian was to know friendship,
loyalty, warmth, compassion, excitement, enthusiasm,
kindness, and more.
For sixty years, Marian was a dedicated member of the
Museum’s Board of Trustees. If she was not the chair, she
was a member of the committee, helping steer projects
such as Art Cart, Arts Ball, the Museum Store, Holiday Art
Fair, Trash and Treasure, and Art Partners, along with lectures,
travel tours, and much more. Many of these activities,
programs, and events continue today. In addition, she
represented the organization at international conferences
of the Volunteer Committees of Art Museums (VCAM) and
served as Co-Chair of VCAM’s Mid-West Regional District.
Image from MMoCA Arts Ball 2006
As President of the Art League she recruited volunteers from all avenues of the Madison community who,
in turn, joined her in supporting the Museum’s mission. When she was elected President of the Board of
Trustees, she helped the organization transition from the Madison Art Center on Gorham Street to the
current downtown Madison location on State Street.
In 1986, she was named a Madison Museum of Contemporary Art Life Trustee, an honor she accepted
with great pride and responsibility. She never lost sight of her commitment to MMoCA and helped guide
the Museum with accountability and transparency.
The loss of Marian Bolz has left a void in the cultural and non-profit Madison community and beyond. She
would be pleased to know that her legacy continues.—Valerie Kazamias, Fellow Life Trustee and Friend
IN MEMORY OF THEODORA
“TEDDY” ZEHNER, 1944-2023
For over 30 years, Teddy was a fixture at MMoCA dating
back to the days when it was called Madison Art
Center. She was a regular at exhibition openings, lectures,
gallery tours, fundraisers, and art fairs. Not only
was the Museum a source of joy and artistic stimulation
for Teddy, but it was also where she formed some
of her most meaningful friendships.
Teddy’s enthusiasm, passion, and generosity were
influential and infectious, making her a valuable leader
Image courtesy of Katie Dowling-Marcus and mentor on MMoCA’s Board of Trustees and committees.
She served as president of Art League, MMoCA
Volunteers, and chaired multiple successful fundraisers including Design MMoCA and Hair Affair. She
was also a regular volunteer at Holiday Art Fair and Art Fair on the Square.
Teddy especially valued her role as an MMoCA Docent and was part of the very first class trained in
2006. She enjoyed gaining first-hand knowledge from artists and curators in order to lead educational
tours of exhibitions.
The Museum benefited, and continues to benefit, in countless ways from Teddy’s time, energy, and
generosity. Remembered for her sense of humor and her warm, magnetic charm, Teddy will be deeply
missed by MMoCA staff, artists, her friends, and so many in our community. Per her wishes, donations
can be made to MMoCA in her honor.—Katie Dowling-Marcus

FELINE FELICITY
A Behind-the-scenes MMoCA Exhibition
One of the perks of working at MMoCA
is viewing contemporary artwork hanging
in the Museum conference room
during business meetings. These internal
shows typically have a theme and
are organized by staff members. At
the moment, Feline Felicity is on view,
including 10 objects featuring cats, wild
and domestic. Organizer Marilyn Sohi,
Head Registrar, Permanent Collection,
shared a behind-the-scenes look at the
impetus for the show.
What inspired your choice of
cat-focused artwork for the conference
room?
Via Zoom staff meetings, I noticed a
number of cats in attendance. Even on
the PBS NewsHour, household pets were parading. As I was solo in the Museum’s Works-on-Paper Study
Center, I began to include a cat-of-the-week work of art when I reported. The Director picked up on this
and asked me to put together a conference room exhibition.
Was there a theme you were after?
I wanted to take a less serious approach incorporating the theme of cats. I was especially pleased during
the reaccreditation when an evaluator commented on how fun the show was, which was exactly what I
was after!
Was it easy to find the number of works you
needed, or did you use all the cat-themed
artworks in the Permanent Collection?
Since I had several examples already in mind, it
made it easy, plus I expanded into tigers represented
in the collection. Yet, even then I did not
use all the cat-themed works of art I found.
To your mind, why is it important to have
mini exhibitions in the conference room?
It’s an ideal opportunity to illustrate the range of
the collection, from various media, time periods,
and artistic styles or techniques.
Are you a cat person or a dog person?
Either way, did any of the works resonate
with you?
While I lean towards Westies (West Highland
Terriers), one of my favorite works in the collection
is a woodcut by Kiyoshi Saito of a pair of
Siamese cats.
When did these conference room exhibitions
begin?
The history of informal, staff-selected exhibitions
in the conference room began with my mentor,
Janet Ela, a former Curator Emerita, who named
one of her cats Goya.
