Stern and Meuninck-Ganger at MWA and Elaine Erickson
This article by Mary Louise Schumacher appeared in both the online and print editions of the MJS
Artists Nathaniel Stern and Jessica Meuninck-Ganger, professors of art at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, collaborate on artworks that combine some of the oldest and newest art forms.
They mount translucent prints and drawings on top of video monitors, which appear to bring moving images to life on paper. The juxtaposition of physical and virtual, tactile and electronic is wonderfully strange and novel.
Stern and Meuninck-Ganger have shown separately and together around the world. A show of their work opens Wednesday at the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend. A second show “Print Press Play” opens Thursday at the Elaine Erickson Gallery, 207 E. Buffalo St.. An opening reception will be held at the Erickson Gallery from 6 to 8 p.m. and an artists’ talk at 6:30 p.m. I’ll be there!
