Two more awardees have been announced in the 2011 Winter Cycle of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L. Nohl Suitcase Export Fund. The fund provides support to greater Milwaukee artists who are exhibiting or screening work outside the immediate four-county area. This round’s awardees will be taking work to Los Angeles and Daytona Beach, Florida.

James Charles: To participate alongside fellow awardee Jessica Kaminski in a group exhibition, “Replacing Home,” at the Jaus Gallery in Los Angeles, curated by Jennifer Johung and featuring artists whose work appears in her book, “Replacing Home: From Primordial Hut to Digital Network in Contemporary Art.” Charles has been asked to respond to the subject of the exhibition with work that addresses the traces of function within the built environment. He will be installing two new exhibited pieces.

Congratulations to the first seven awardees in the 2011 Winter Cycle of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L. Nohl Fund Suitcase Export Fund.

It’s sunny, it’s warm (for January, anyway) and it’s 2012! Word from the Audubon bird count in December was that there were five bluebirds at Lynden and a cackling goose was spotted.

The leaves are mostly gone and it’s getting dark very early, so it must be time to think about winter.

The warm weather we were graced with this past weekend was ideal for Dressing the Monument: A Reading by David Robbins and a Video Program. Robbins read outside, seated at his Open-Air Writing Desk, with attendees gathered around it.

After the reading, the crowd moved indoors to the conference room for a video screening, which featured works by Chris Burden, Stephen Wetzel and Hiroshi Teshigahara.

Thanks to David Robbins for reading, and to everyone that attended! Now if only the weather could have hung around...

A few adventurous painters and many non-painting visitors turned out on a beautiful day for what we hope is the first of many opportunities to paint en plein air at Lynden. Pamela Ruschman was one of the painting visitors, and you can read about and see her work over on her blog.

As winter approaches, some of the sculptures need to be relocated. Today, Patrick and Sergio are busy moving Samuel Buri's piece Des Vaches: Mo, Ni, Que (1971-1976) -- more commonly known as The Cows -- from their summer pasture to their winter home indoors next to the swimming pool.
