MKMW Galleries

Explore the traditional gallery concept, addressing the ideas of availability, exhibitions, and performance. The main focus is to circumvent protocol without divorcing it from convention. Ultimately, the venue becomes part of the exhibition.

The Blue Frame Gallery
Beyond The Canvas Video by Amy Stollenwerk

The Blue Frame Gallery, 2011: Meant for trekking through the (post)industrial/entertainment/recreational zone that is the Menomonee River Valley. The gallery is a new breed of gallery space that relies on context without needing a permanent location.

The Epitectural Blocks: MAM Balcony, 2011: Finding undisturbed locations inside a museum can be difficult; finding ones to serve as personal gallery spaces is even harder. Located on the mezzanine balcony, this undisturbed space has served as a personal art gallery for many months. Simple and elegant this space showcases the materials and their relationship to the art.

Aladdin Museum of Art

Aladdin Museum of Art, 2011: Growing up no space was more precious than the inside of your lunch box. Your entire morning built up to opening your box and finding what goodies lay inside. Using this magical box for a gallery space can have a similar effect. It turns ordinary drawings, photos, or even small trinkets into masterpieces.

Gallery Walls, 2010: Two things that all museums contain are exhibits and a support structure on which to exhibit them. That support structure in many cases is just as interesting as the exhibits they are meant to showcase. In Gallery Walls the relationship is blurred in which the exhibit and support structure cannot clearly be defined with both expressing characteristics of the other.
