Actual Fractals, Act I

“There are many Milwaukees within this single city. While our parts can appear, and be, disjointed, there are also patterns that play out in our experiences across communities, generations, and public and private spaces, connecting us intricately.

Actual Fractals, Act I brings together the work of seven distinguished artists from diverse backgrounds whose sculptures touch on concerns, pastimes, and pleasures that shape contemporary life, here and in the world beyond. The exhibition features artworks in a range of mediums that can rescale our expectations of contemporary sculpture. They also help us to see what we share by existing in the same time and place—and to see each other with delight and renewed empathy.”
