MILWAUKEE, WI
.-Sculpture Milwaukee announced today that its 2021 exhibition will be co-curated by artists Theaster Gates and Michelle Grabner. The show will launch in June 2021 and run through autumn of 2022. Now in its fifth year, Sculpture Milwaukee is one of the largest annual outdoor exhibitions to focus on contemporary sculpture and public art practices.
The announcement of Gates and Grabner as co-curators continues the Guest Curator Program which began last year with Mary Jane Jacob, Professor and Director of the Institute for Curatorial Research and Practice, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Lisa Sutcliffe, the Herzfeld Curator of Photography and Media Arts at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Their contributions expanded the structure of the exhibition by introducing a technoscape film by Leslie Hewitt and a video by Amy Yoes into the structure of the exhibition.
